Ferroptosis and iron-based therapies in Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections: From pathogenesis to treatment
5 Sept 2025
Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a globally prevalent multidrug-resistant pathogen that causes severe infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. This review focuses on the dual role of iron in P. aeruginosa infections: as a critical nutrient for bacterial growth and as a mediator of host cell ferroptosis, a form of iron-dependent cell death. We summarize how P. aeruginosa manipulates iron metabolism to...
