PQS and pyochelin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa share inner membrane transporters to mediate iron uptake

ABSTRACTBacteria absorb different forms of iron through various channels to meet their needs. Our previous studies have shown that TseF, a type VI secretion system effector for Fe uptake, facilitates the delivery of outer membrane vesicle-associated Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS)-Fe3+ to bacteri...
