Characterization of the Flagellar Collar Reveals Structural Plasticity Essential for Spirochete Motility
ABSTRACT Spirochetes are a remarkable group of bacteria with distinct morphology and periplasmic flagella that enable motility in viscous environments, such as host connective tissues. The collar, a spirochete-specific complex of the periplasmic flagellum, is required for this unique spirochete moti...
