▪ Abstract The ability of pathogens to obtain iron from transferrins, ferritin, hemoglobin, and
other iron-containing proteins of their host is central to whether they live or die. To combat …

The appearance of oxygen on earth led to two major problems: the production of potentially
deleterious reactive oxygen species and a drastic decrease in iron availability. In addition …

The Escherichia coli mntH (formerly yfeP) gene encodes a putative membrane protein
(MntH) highly similar to members of the eukaryotic Nramp family of divalent metal ion …

Norepinephrine stimulates the growth of a range of bacterial species in nutritionally poor

Siderophore binding proteins play a key role in the uptake of iron in many gram-positive and
gram-negative bacteria. FhuD is a soluble periplasmic binding protein that transports …

Ferric iron is an essential element for microbial growth but its water solubility in aerobic
environments is considered to be low. Thus it is a limiting resource for which microbes must …

Iron is an essential nutrient for the survival and pathogenesis of bacteria, but relatively little
is known regarding its transport and regulation in staphylococci. Based on the known …
