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 …

Iron is an essential nutrient for the growth, survival and virulence of almost all bacteria. To
access iron, many bacteria produce siderophores, molecules with a high affinity for iron …

During intestinal inflammation, host nutritional immunity starves microbes of essential
micronutrients, such as iron. Pathogens scavenge iron using siderophores, including …

TonB-dependent transporters (TBDTs) are present in all gram-negative bacteria and
mediate energy-dependent uptake of molecules that are too scarce or large to be taken up …

Pseudmonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium known to be ubiquitous and
recognized as one of the leading causes of infections such as respiratory, urinary tract …

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 …

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 human microbiome encodes a second genome that dwarfs the genetic capacity of the
host. Microbiota-derived small molecules can directly target human cells and their receptors …

Cell envelope plays a dual role in the life of bacteria by simultaneously protecting it from a
hostile environment and facilitating access to beneficial molecules. At the heart of this ability …

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 …
