Comparative Analysis of Flagellotropic Agrobacterium Phages
… phages require receptors on the host surface. Flagellotropic bacteriophages involve an actively rotating bacterial flagellum to attach and initiate the infection process. Flagellotropic bacteriophages are poorly studied compared to their non-flagellotropic counterparts. It is important to …

Investigation of flagellotropic phage interactions with their motile host bacteria
… as receptors to recognize and attach to hosts. Flagellotropic phages utilize bacterial flagella as receptors. Studies focused on uncovering mechanistic details of flagellotropic phage infection are lacking. As the number of phage-based applications grows, it is important to understand these …

The interplay between pathogenic bacteria and bacteriophage Chi: New directions in motility and phage-host interactions in Enterobacterales
… infect bacteria via this appendage are known as flagellotropic or flagellum-dependent bacteriophages. Much like other phages, flagellotropic phages are of interest for clinical applications as antibacterial agents, particularly against multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria. Bacteriophage χ is a …

Biophysics of Helices: Devices, Bacteria and Viruses
… resistance. In contrast to typical phages, flagellotropic phages first attach to bacterial flagella, and have the striking ability to reach the cell body for infection, despite their lack of independent motion. The last part of the dissertation develops the first theoretical model for the …
