Acinetobacter baumannii is a leading cause of nosocomial infections due to its increased
antibiotic resistance and virulence. The ability of A. baumannii to form biofilms contributes to …

Control of metal homeostasis is essential for life in all kingdoms. In most prokaryotic
organisms the FUR (ferric uptake regulator) family of transcriptional regulators is involved in …

Metals are required cofactors for numerous fundamental processes that are essential to both
pathogen and host. They are coordinated in enzymes responsible for DNA replication and …

Acinetobacter baumannii has notably become a superbug due to its mounting risk of
infection and escalating rates of antimicrobial resistance, including colistin, the last-resort …

In bacteria–host interactions, competition for iron is critical for the outcome of the infection.
As a result of its redox properties, this metal is essential for the growth and proliferation of …

Iron is an essential element for Vibrio spp., but the acquisition of iron is complicated by its
tendency to form insoluble ferric complexes in nature and its association with high-affinity …

Pathogenic bacteria have the ability to sense their versatile environment and adapt by
behavioral changes both to the external reservoirs and the infected host, which, in response …

Vibrio vulnificus is a zoonotic pathogen able to cause diseases in humans and fish that
occasionally result in sepsis and death. Most reviews about this pathogen (including those …

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging nosocomial pathogen. In many bacteria iron
availability regulates, through the Fur system, not only iron homeostasis but also virulence …

Due to the development of Marine aquaculture, infections caused by Vibrio vulnificus are
common all over the world. Symptoms of V. vulnificus infection vary from gastrointestinal …
