Targeting Siderophore Biosynthesis to Thwart Microbial Growth

Abstract excerpt

The growing threat of antibiotic resistance has made treating bacterial and fungal infections increasingly difficult. With the discovery of new antibiotics slowing down, alternative strategies are urgently needed. Siderophores, small iron-chelating molecules produced by microorganisms, play a crucial role in iron acquisition and serve as virulence factors in many pathogens. Because iron is essential for microbial...
