Iron Acquisition and Microbial Virulence: Potential Uptake Systems in the Aeromonas Species

摘要: Colonization of an animal host by a disease causing bacterial species involves complex sequence events that includes entry and multiplication, sometimes with damage to the host.1 At each step has placed barricades initiate various vs. microbe conflicts on which outcome invasion is balanced. Competition for iron key biofulcrum.2 The winner battle may not ultimately win war but absolute nutritional requirement bacteria means will never without capturing metal from its host. Identifying retention gathering weapons used two competitors constitutes fascinating, still incomplete, study. techniques modern molecular biology enable more precise determination related virulence molecules genes encoding their synthesis. While some general acquisition modes are evident, tactics employed different have be defined case-by-case basis. With detailed knowledge systems, it possible devise enhancing host’s withholding defenses.
