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 t...
