Campylobacter flagella: not just for motility

Guerry, Patricia·2007·Trends in Microbiology

Abstract

Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are among the major causes of diarrheal disease worldwide. The motility imparted by the polar flagella of these pathogens is required for colonization of the mucus lining of the gastrointestinal tract. However, recent studies have revealed a more complex role for flagella in Campylobacter pathogenesis that includes the ability to secrete non-flagellar proteins that modulate virulence and the co-regulation of secreted and non-secreted virulence factors with the flagella regulon. Campylobacter flagellins are heavily glycosylated and changes in glycan composition affect autoagglutination and microcolony formation on intestinal epithelial cells; these traits are associated with disease in an animal model. Here, these recent advances in our understanding of the multifaceted role of flagella in Campylobacter virulence are summarized.

  • In some cases, carbohydrates, particularly exopolysaccharides, can act as autoagglutinins.

    “In some cases, also carbohydrates, particularly exopolysaccharides, can act as autoagglutinins.”

  • In Campylobacter jejuni, the autoaggregative phenotype is dependent on glycosylation of flagella.

    “A different example of carbohydrate-mediated autoaggregation is found in Campylobacter jejuni, where the autoaggregative phenotype is dependent on glycosylation of flagella [17].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
