The Role of Flagellum and Flagellum-Based Motility on <i>Salmonella</i> Enteritidis and <i>Escherichia coli</i> Biofilm Formation

The Role of Flagellum and Flagellum-Based Motility on <i>Salmonella</i> Enteritidis and <i>Escherichia coli</i> Biofilm Formation

Flagellum-mediated motility has been suggested to contribute to virulence by allowing bacteria to colonize and spread to new surfaces. In <i>Salmonella enterica</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i> species, mutants affected by their flagellar motility have shown a reduced ability...
