Iron Acquisition Mechanisms and Their Role in the Virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii
Infection and Immunity, 2022 Iron is an essential element for survival of most organisms. One mechanism of host defense is to tightly chelate iron to several proteins to limit its extracellular availability. ABSTRACT Iron is an essential element for survival of most organisms.
