Salmonella effector SpvB interferes with intracellular iron homeostasis via regulation of transcription factor NRF2
30 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Iron is a necessary nutrient for humans and nearly all bacterial species. During Salmonella infection, macrophages limit the availability of iron to intracellular pathogens in one of the central components of nutritional immunity. However, Salmonella also have mechanisms to interfere with the antimicrobial effect of host iron withdrawal and meet their own nutrient requirements by scavenging iron from the host....
