2019-05-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In metal-scarce environments, some pathogenic bacteria produce opine-type metallophores mainly to face the host’s nutritional immunity. This is the case of staphylopine, pseudopaline and yersinopine, identified in Staphylococcus aureus , Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Yersinia pestis respectively. These metallophores are synthesized by two (CntLM) or three enzymes (CntKLM), CntM catalyzing the la...
