Mechanisms of iron acquisition by the human pathogens Neisseria Meningitidis and Neisseria Gonorrhoeae

1 Jan 2003

Abstract excerpt

It is well established that bacterial pathogenesis is dependent on the ability to acquire iron within the host. The success of the highly adapted obligate human pathogens Neisseria meningitidis (NM) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) can be attributed in part to the efficient utilization of multiple host iron (Fe) sources, allowing replication on mucosal surfaces, in the bloodstream, and intracellularly. Most...
