Bacteria use small molecules called siderophores to scavenge iron. Siderophore-Fe3+
complexes are recognised by outer-membrane transporters and imported into the periplasm …

Siderophores protect Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium from certain phages,
bacteriocins, and antibiotics by two mechanisms. The first is adsorption competition for outer …

Because the hydrolysis of ferric ion makes it very insoluble in aerobic, near neutral pH
environments, most species of bacteria produce siderophores to acquire iron, an essential …

We investigated the importance of the production of catecholate siderophores, and the
utilization of their iron (III) complexes, to colonization of the mouse intestinal tract by …

Revised Manuscript Received September 6, 19940 abstract: The ferric enterobactin
receptor, FepA, is a TonB-dependent gated porin that transports the siderophore ferric …

The design and syntheses of monofunctionalized enterobactin (Ent, l-and d-isomers)
scaffolds where one catecholate moiety of enterobactin houses an alkene, aldehyde, or …

Host–microbe interactions often begin with colonization of mucosal surfaces. These
relationships are highly specific, as certain microbial species are found only in particular …

The structural requirements for recognition of ferric-enterobactin by the ferric-enterobactin
receptor in Escherichia coli have been examined with model complexes as probes in …

M. Llinás,* DM Wilson,| and JB Neilands abstract: The conformations of enterobactin and its
Ga3+ chelate dissolved in (CD3) 2SO have been characterized by and 13C nmr. All the …

Numerous bacteria cope with the scarcity of iron in their microenvironment by synthesizing
small iron-scavenging molecules known as siderophores. Mammals have evolved …
