Here, we use in situ single-particle cryo-electron microscopy to determine near-atomic structures of the flagellar filament within the membranous sheath of . The major flagellin FlaA constitutes the bulk of the filament, whereas the minor flagellin FlaB contributes critically to the hook-proximal region. Both FlaA and FlaB form a conserved core surrounded by variable surface-exposed domains. Our structures further reveal that pseudaminic acid glycans decorate these domains, where they mediate inter- and intra-subunit contacts that stabilize the filament and confer a negatively charged surface. Together, these findings support a model in which the filament rotates independently of the membranous sheath to drive motility and provide a molecular framework for understanding how the sheathed flagellum enables colonization and persistence within the gastric niche. | |||||||||||||||||||||
