Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative γ-Proteobacterium which is known for its
capacity to colonize various niches, including some invertebrate and vertebrate hosts …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen able to infect any human tissue.
One of the reasons for its high adaptability and colonization of host tissues is its capacity of …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous bacterium found in many natural and man‐made
environments. It is also a pathogen for plants, animals, and humans. As for almost all living …

An iron-regulated outer membrane protein of 75,000 daltons was strongly expressed
following iron limitation of strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa which fail to produce …

In addition to the two siderophores pyoverdine and pyochelin synthesized by Pseudomonas
aeruginosa ATCC 15692 (strain PAO1), several siderophores produced by other bacteria or …

The uptake of iron into Pseudomonas aeruginosa is mediated by two major siderophores
produced by the bacterium, pyoverdine and pyochelin. The bacterium is also able of utilize …

Pyochelin (Pch) is one of the two major siderophores produced and secreted by
Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 to assimilate iron. It chelates iron in the extracellular …

Bacteria secrete siderophores to access iron, a key nutrient poorly bioavailable and the
source of strong competition between microorganisms in most biotopes. Many bacteria also …

Siderophore production and utilization is one of the major strategies deployed by bacteria to
get access to iron, a key nutrient for bacterial growth. The biological function of siderophores …
