A model symbiosis reveals a role for sheathed-flagellum rotation in the release of immunogenic lipopolysaccharide

Bacterial flagella mediate host–microbe interactions through tissue tropism during colonization, as well as by activating immune responses. The flagellar shaft of some bacteria, including several human pathogens, is encased in a membranous sheath of unknown function. While it has been hypothesized t...
