Abstract excerpt
A siderophore-dependent iron transport system of the pathogenic yersiniae plays a role in the pathogenesis of these organisms. The structure of the yersiniabactin (Ybt) siderophore produced by Yersinia enterocolitica has been elucidated. This paper reports the purification of Ybt from Yersinia pestis and demonstrates that it has the same structure as Ybt from Y. enterocolitica. Purified Ybt had a formation...
