Managing Manganese: The Role of Manganese Homeostasis in Streptococcal Pathogenesis

Pathogenic streptococci require manganese for survival in the host. In response to invading pathogens, the host recruits nutritional immune effectors at infection sites to withhold manganese from the pathogens and control bacterial growth. The manganese scarcity impairs several streptococcal process...
