Abstract excerpt
Iron is one of the most important elements for bacterial survival and pathogenicity. The iron uptake mechanism of Riemerella anatipestifer (R. anatipestifer, RA), a major pathogen that causes septicemia and polyserositis in ducks, is largely unknown. Here, the functions of the putative TonB-dependent iron transporter of RA-CH-1, B739_1343, in iron utilization and pathogenicity were investigated. Under...
