Iron is an indispensable metabolic cofactor in both pro-and eukaryotes, which engenders a
natural competition for the metal between bacterial pathogens and their human or animal …

Bacterial pathogens require the iron-containing cofactor heme to cause disease. Heme is
essential to the function of hemoproteins, which are involved in energy generation by the …

Iron is an essential micronutrient, and, in the case of bacteria, its availability is commonly a
growth-limiting factor. However, correct functioning of cells requires that the labile pool of …

Iron is a transition metal utilized by nearly all forms of life for essential cellular processes,
such as DNA synthesis and cellular respiration. During infection by bacterial pathogens, the …

Determining bacterial gene expression during infection is fundamental to understand
pathogenesis. In this study, we used dual RNA-seq to simultaneously measure P …

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 …

The decline of clinically effective antibiotics has made it necessary to develop more effective
antimicrobial agents, especially for refractory biofilm-related infections. Silver nanoparticles …

Iron is essential for the survival of most bacteria but presents a significant challenge given its
limited bioavailability. Furthermore, the toxicity of iron combined with the need to maintain …

Iron is important for bacterial growth and survival, as it is a common co-factor in essential
enzymes. Although iron is very abundant in the earth crust, its bioavailability is low in most …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, like all members of the genus
Pseudomonas, has the capacity to thrive in very different environments, ranging from water …
