Received 14 June 2006/ Accepted 1 September 2006

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.
