Yersiniabactin is a quorum-sensing autoinducer and siderophore in uropathogenic Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT Siderophores are secreted ferric ion chelators used to obtain iron in nutrient-limited environmental niches, including human hosts. While all Escherichia coli express the enterobactin (Ent) siderophore system, isolates from patients with urinary tract infections additionally express the gen...
