P.681 left column top paragraph: "Campylobacter jejuni and Helicobacter
pylori move through gastrointestinal mucus and high viscosity media, probably benefiting from their spiral shapes (ref 74, primary source, ref 321). Mucispirillum schaedleri, a newly described spiral species representing ~27% of all bacteria isolated from the
gastrointestinal tracts of rodents, probably does the same (primary source)." |
