Bacteria access iron, a key nutrient, by producing siderophores or using siderophores produced by other microorganisms. The pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces two siderophores but is also able to pirate enterobactin (ENT), the siderophore produced by Escherichia coli. ENT-Fe complexes are impo...

Iron is an essential nutrient for bacterial growth but poorly bioavailable. To scavenge ferric iron present in their environment, bacteria synthesize and secrete siderophores, small compounds with a high affinity for iron. Pyochelin (PCH) is one of the two siderophores produced by the opportunistic ...

Iron is an essential nutriment for almost all organisms, but this metal is poorly bioavailable. During infection, bacteria access iron from the host by importing either iron or hemin. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative pathogen, secretes two siderophores, pyoverdine (PVD) and pyochelin (PCH), t...

The development of new antibiotics against Gram-negative bacteria has to deal with the low permeability of the outer membrane. This obstacle can be overcome by utilizing siderophore-dependent iron uptake pathways as gates for antibiotic uptake. Iron-chelating siderophores are actively imported by ba...

Iron is an essential nutrient for the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as for almost all living organisms. To access this element, the pathogen is able to express at least 15 different iron-uptake pathways, the vast majority involving small iron chelators called siderophores. Indeed, P...

Iron is a key nutrient for almost all living organisms and paradoxically poorly soluble and consequently poorly bioavailable. To get access to this metal, bacteria have developed many different strategies. One of the most common consists of the use of siderophores, small compounds chelating ferric i...
