Growth stimulation ofEscherichia coliin serum by iron(III) aerobactin. Recycling of aerobactin [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1984 Growth of wild-type strains and K-12 derivatives of Escherichia coli in calf serum was strongly enhanced by the iron(III) aerobactin supply system specified by certain ColV plasmids. Aerobactin was superior over enterochelin in stimulating growth. In contrast to enterochelin and ferrichrome, aerobactin seemed not to be hydrolyzed or modified during ...

The pathogenicity of or aerobactin-positive in infected mice [PDF]
Journal of International Medical Research, 2019 Objectives To investigate the pathogenicity of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN) possessing rmpA or the aerobactin gene in infected mice. Methods BALB/c mice were divided into four groups (n = 10 per group) and infected with: string test-positive and rmpA ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Aerobactin is a citrate-hydroxamate siderophore that is critical for the virulence of pathogenic enteric bacteria. However, although the aerobactin-producing iucABCD-iutA operon is distributed widely in the genomes of Yersinia species, none of the ...

Incidence of aerobactin production in Gram-negative hospital isolates [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1987 The production of aerobactin was studied in 943 clinical isolates of 14 different Gram-negative genera. Aerobactin-producing strains were isolated in all the genera of Enterobacteriaceae tested, whereas no aerobactin-producing strains were found in the non-enterobacterial genera (Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter).

Aerobactin is a key driver of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae translocation and virulence.
PLoS PathogensHypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) is an emerging pathotype capable of causing severe systemic infections. Gastrointestinal (GI) colonization often precedes invasive disease, but the mechanisms driving translocation to extra-intestinal sites are ...

Iron-Utilization System in Vibrio vulnificus M2799
Marine Drugs, 2021 Vibrio vulnificus is a Gram-negative pathogenic bacterium that causes serious infections in humans and requires iron for growth. A clinical isolate, V. vulnificus M2799, secretes a catecholate siderophore, vulnibactin, that captures ferric ions from the ...
