This study quantifies the cost-benefit trade-off of peritrichous flagellation in Salmonella enterica, showing that increased flagellation reduces growth rate but enhances motility and competitive fitness in structured environments.

This study models how Salmonella uses regulatory memory and growth-coupled inheritance to adjust flagellar number based on nutrient availability.

This study determines the crystal structure of E. coli Nissle 1917 flagellin and shows that hypervariable regions affect motility but not TLR5 recognition.

This study characterizes Listeria monocytogenes genomes from Costa Rica, identifies unnoticed outbreaks, and advocates for mandatory reporting to enhance surveillance.
