Isogenic flagellum-negative mutants of Helicobacter pylori and Helicobacter mustelae were screened for their ability to adhere to primary human and ferret gastric epithelial cells, respectively. We also evaluated the adherence of an H. pylori strain with a mutation in the flbA gene, a homologue of the flbF/lcrD family of genes known to be involved in the regulation of H. pylori flagellar biosynthesis. H. pylori and H. mustelae mutants deficient in production of FlaA or FlaB and mutants deficient in the production of both FlaA and FlaB showed no reduction in adherence to primary human or ferret gastric epithelial cells compared with the wild-type parental strains. However, adherence of the H. pylori flbA mutant to human gastric cells was significantly reduced compared to the adherence of the wild-type strain. These results show that flagella do not play a direct role in promoting adherence of H. pylori or H. mustelae to gastric epithelial cells. However, genes involved in the regulation of H. pylori flagellar biosynthesis may also regulate the production of an adhesin.
