Iron uptake mechanisms of pathogenic bacteria

1993-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Most of the iron in a mammalian body is complexed with various proteins. Moreover, in response to infection, iron availability is reduced in both extracellular and intracellular compartments. Bacteria need iron for growth and successful bacterial pathogens have therefore evolved to compete successfully for iron in the highly iron-stressed environment of the host’s tissues and body fluids. Several strategies have b...
