Survey on newly characterized iron uptake systems of Yersinia enterocolitica.

Abstract excerpt

Iron assimilation systems have been shown to be important for virulence in Yersinia enterocolitica. In principle, iron transport in Y. enterocolitica is similarly organized as in Escherichia coli although some differences exist in the siderophores used. A TonB function was identified which in a tonB mutant was complemented by the E. coli tonB gene. Three outer membrane receptors for siderophores were cloned and...
