Transition Metals at the Host–pathogen Interface: How Neisseria Exploit Human Metalloproteins for Acquiring Iron and Zinc

Transition metals are essential nutrients for all organisms and important players in the host-microbe interaction. During bacterial infection, a tug-of-war between the host and microbe for nutrient metals occurs: the host innate immune system responds to the pathogen by reducing metal availability a...
