Active removal of inhibitory components drives the flagellarType III Secretion Specificity Switch

Fabienne F. V. Chevance, Dara Niketic, DingBang Wu…·Kelly T. Hughes

The paper shows that removal of inhibitory components Fluke and FlhBCCD by FliK drives the flagellar T3S specificity switch from early to late secretion.

Swashing motility: A novel propulsion-independent mechanism for surface migration in Salmonella and E. coli

Justin Panich, Eric M. Dudebout, David F. Blair

This paper identifies a novel surface motility mechanism in Salmonella and E. coli called 'swashing' that does not require flagellar propulsion and is driven by fermentation-induced osmotic gradients.
