Genomic Epidemiology of Multidrug-Resistant Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae From Pakistan. [PDF]
Study design and bioinformatics workflow. Cohort selection and uniform workflow. ABSTRACT Background Antimicrobial‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major clinical threat in Pakistan and the wider South Asian region, where genomic surveillance remains limited. We analyzed 122 publicly available human clinical K.

Aerobactin in human and animal disease.
Aerobactin in human and animal disease Mark Roberts The aerobactin iron uptake system is specified by a cluster of five genes, four for the synthesis of the siderophore aerobactin and the fifth for its cognate outer membrane protein receptor.

Iron-Utilization System in Vibrio vulnificus M2799
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 ...

Aerobactin genes in Shigella spp [PDF]
Aerobactin, a hydroxamate iron transport compound, is synthesized by some, but not all, Shigella species. Conjugation and hybridization studies indicated that the genes for the synthesis and transport of aerobactin are linked and are found on the chromosome of Shigella flexneri, S. boydii, and S. sonnei. The genes were not found in S. dysenteriae.

Production of the siderophore aerobactin by a halophilic pseudomonad [PDF]
A bacterial strain, isolated from a cyanobacterial culture, was identified as Pseudomonas sp. strain X40. Under iron-limiting conditions, the Pseudomonas sp. produced aerobactin, a dihydroxamate siderophore previously found only in the family Enterobacteriaceae. Aerobactin was identified by electrophoretic mobility, spectrophotometric titration, proton

Molecular genetic analysis of aerobactin receptors.
Some Enterobacteriaceae produce a low molecular weight compound, aerobactin, with a high affinity for ferric iron. The genes encoding the aerobactin system have been identified in plasmid or chromosomal DNA; they are arranged in an operon consisting of ...

Novel Aerobactin Receptor in Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
Several Klebsiella pneumoniae strains which produced enterochelin but not aerobactin were nevertheless sensitive to cloacin DF13. In contrast, a strain of serotype K1:O1 which produced both siderophores was cloacin-resistant. Loss by mutation of the O1 but not K1 antigen rendered this strain cloacin-sensitive, indicating that the O1 antigen prevented ...
