Mechanisms Of Functioning And Control Of Heme Uptake In Gram-Negative Pathogenic Bacteria

Mechanisms Of Functioning And Control Of Heme Uptake In Gram-Negative Pathogenic Bacteria

Iron is one of the most important micronutrients used by bacteria, essential for their basic metabolism. Over 70% of bioavailable iron in mammals is in the heme molecule. Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria during colonization and infection of the host organism use heme as the main source of iron. Bac...
