Functional characterization of Fur in iron metabolism, oxidative stress resistance and virulence of Riemerella anatipestifer

Abstract Iron is essential for most bacteria to survive, but excessive iron leads to damage by the Fenton reaction. Therefore, the concentration of intracellular free iron must be strictly controlled in bacteria. Riemerella anatipestifer (R. anatipestifer), a Gram-negative bacterium, encodes the iro...
