Characterization of Pit, a <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> Iron Uptake ABC Transporter

28 Jul 2002

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria frequently have multiple mechanisms for acquiring iron, an essential micronutrient, from the environment. We have identified a four-gene Streptococcus pneumoniae operon, named pit, encoding proteins with similarity to components of a putative Brachyspira hyodysenteriae iron uptake ABC transporter, Bit. An S. pneumoniae strain containing a defined mutation in pit has impaired growth in medium containing...
