Ferric quinate (QPLEX) interacts with the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Campylobacter jejuni and enters through the porin channel into the periplasmic space
Ferric chelates like ferric tyrosinate (TYPLEX) and the closely related ferric quinate (QPLEX) are structural mimics of bacterial siderophores. TYPLEX has been trialled as a feed additive in farming of commercial broilers, reducing Campylobacter loads by 2–3 log10 and leading to faster growth and be...
