Abstract excerpt
We examined the role of iron(II) and iron(III) uptake, mediated by FeoB and TonB, respectively, in infection of the mouse by Salmonella typhimurium. The S. typhimurium feoB gene, encoding a homolog of an Escherichia coli cytoplasmic membrane iron(II) permease, was cloned, and a mutant was generated by allelic exchange. In addition, an S. typhimurium tonB mutant was constructed. Together these two mutations...
