1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
The ability to gain access to iron is pivotal for bacterial pathogens during infection. Although much is known about iron acquisition systems in Gram-negative bacteria, comparatively little is known about how Gram-positive pathogens access iron from host iron sources. A previous study showed that, in the Gram-positive human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, a cell surface-associated glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate...
