Uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> wield enterobactin-derived catabolites as siderophores
2023-07-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) secrete multiple siderophore types to scavenge extracellular iron(III) ions during clinical urinary tract infections, despite the metabolic costs of biosynthesis. Here we find the siderophore enterobactin and its related products to be prominent components of the iron-responsive extracellular metabolome of a model UPEC strain. Using defined enterobactin biosynthesis...
