title: Uncovering a large set of genes that affect surface motility in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
abstract: We describe a large set of genes affecting motility in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Identified in microarray experiments as displaying flagellar gene expression patterns or controlled by known flagellar regulators, we show that null mutations in these genes primarily affect swarming motility. Three genes function in chemotaxis.
