Essential metals at the host-pathogen interface: nutritional immunity and micronutrient assimilation by human fungal pathogens

4 Aug 2015

Abstract excerpt

The ability of pathogenic microorganisms to assimilate sufficient nutrients for growth within their hosts is a fundamental requirement for pathogenicity. However, certain trace nutrients, including iron, zinc and manganese, are actively withheld from invading pathogens in a process called nutritional immunity. Therefore, successful pathogenic species must have evolved specialized mechanisms in order to adapt to...
