This study identifies FapA as a cytoplasmic component of the H. pylori flagellar cage that links the flagellar structure to surface-associated behaviors like biofilm formation.

This study investigates the role of RsfS in H. pylori, showing it is required for low-growth states and chronic infection.

This paper investigates the role of TlpD's C-terminus in its polar localization and chemotaxis function in H. pylori, showing that loss of the C-terminus disrupts localization and chemotactic ability.

This study identifies distinct flagellins in H. pylori that differentially regulate biofilm initiation through interactions with motor components.
