Iron acquisition strategies in pseudomonads: mechanisms, ecology, and evolution
R Kümmerli - Biometals, 2023 - Springer
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 …

Iron acquisition by a commensal bacterium modifies host nutritional immunity during Salmonella infection
During intestinal inflammation, host nutritional immunity starves microbes of essential
micronutrients, such as iron. Pathogens scavenge iron using siderophores, including …
