Legionella pneumophila feoAB promotes ferrous iron uptake and intracellular infection.

Infection and immunity - 1 Oct 2002

Robey Marianne, Cianciotto Nicholas P

Abstract excerpt

In order to determine the role of ferrous iron transport in Legionella pathogenesis, we identified and mutated the feoB gene in virulent Legionella pneumophila strain 130b. As it is in Escherichia coli, the L. pneumophila feoB gene was contained within a putative feoAB operon. L. pneumophila feoB insertion mutants exhibited decreased ferrous but not ferric iron uptake compared to the wild type. Growth on standard...
