A huge number of bacterial species are motile by flagella, which allow them to actively move
toward favorable environments and away from hazardous areas and to conquer new …

Helicobacter pylori, a gram-negative microaerophilic pathogen, causes several upper
gastrointestinal diseases, such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer …

Helicobacter pylori infections are a major cause of peptic ulcers and gastric cancers. The
development of robust inflammation in response to these flagellated, motile bacteria is …

Helicobacter spp., including the well-known human gastric pathogen H. pylori, can cause
gastric diseases in humans and other mammals. They are Gram-negative bacteria that …

Flagellar motility is important for the pathogenesis of many intestinal pathogens, allowing
bacteria to move to their preferred ecological niche. Clostridioides difficile is currently the …

Motility promotes biofilm initiation during the early steps of this process: microbial surface
association and attachment. Motility is controlled in part by chemotaxis signaling, so it seems …

The stomach pathogen Helicobacter pylori utilizes two scaffold proteins, CheW and CheV1,
to build critical chemotaxis arrays. Chemotaxis helps bacteria establish and maintain …

Run-and-tumble processes successfully model several living systems. While studies have
typically focused on particles with isotropic tumbles, recent examples exhibit “tumble-turns” …

The gastric pathogen, Helicobacter pylori bacteria have to swim across a pH gradient from 2
to 7 in the mucus layer to colonize the gastric epithelium. Previous studies from our group …

Symbiotic bacteria often navigate complex environments before colonizing privileged sites
in their host organism. Chemical gradients are known to facilitate directional taxis of these …
