A Novel Gene Inactivation System Reveals Altered Periplasmic Flagellar Orientation in a Borrelia burgdorferi fliL Mutant

Motility and chemotaxis are essential components of pathogenesis for many infectious bacteria, including Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. Motility and chemotaxis genes comprise 5 to 6% of the genome of B. burgdorferi, yet the functions of most of those genes remain uncharac...
