Abstract
The flagella of Carnpylobacter jejuni play an important role in pathogenicity. Wassenaar et al. 18 and Grant et al. 3 showed that flagella are important for invasion, while Ruiz-Palacios et al. 14 showed that invasiveness is associated with inflammatory diarrhoea. Motility, rather than the presence of flagella, is the major factor involved in invasion18,3 Furthermore, flagella play an important role in colonisation19,4,12,1,6. The presence of flagellin A, rather than motility, seems to be responsible for optimal bacterial colonization of chicken caeca19.
