Motility of the Zoonotic Spirochete <i>Leptospira</i>: Insight into Association with Pathogenicity
If a bacterium has motility, it will use the ability to survive and thrive. For many pathogenic species, their motilities are a crucial virulence factor. The form of motility varies among the species. Some use flagella for swimming in liquid, and others use the cell-surface machinery to move over so...
