Legionella pneumophila mutants that are defective for iron acquisition and assimilation and intracellular infection.

Infection and immunity - 1 Feb 1996

Pope C D, O'Connell W, Cianciotto N P

Abstract excerpt

Legionella pneumophila, a parasite of macrophages and protozoa, requires iron for optimal extracellular and intracellular growth. However, its mechanisms of iron acquisition remain uncharacterized. Using mini-Tn10 mutagenesis, we isolated 17 unique L. pneumophila strains which appeared to be defective for iron acquisition and assimilation. Eleven of these mutants were both sensitive to the iron chelator...
