Comparative proteomics of uropathogenic Escherichia coli during growth in human urine identify UCA-like (UCL) fimbriae as an adherence factor involved in biofilm formation and binding to uroepithelial cells [PDF]
, 2015 Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the primary cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) in humans. For the successful colonisation of the human urinary tract, UPEC employ a diverse collection of secreted or surface-exposed virulence factors ...

Aerobactin Synthesis Proteins as Antivirulence Targets in Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
ACS Infectious Diseases, 2019 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an underrecognized pathotype of K. pneumoniae since the majority of cases have occurred in East Asia. However, hvKp is a public health threat due to its ability to infect healthy individuals, ongoing dissemination, and acquisition of resistance determinants.

ColV plasmid-specific aerobactin synthesis by invasive strains of Escherichia coli [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1981 Certain strains of Escherichia coli associated with bacteremia of humans and domestic animals harbor plasmids that promote efficient iron uptake. The mechanism, which is an important component of the virulence of invasive strains, is independent of the enterobactin system for iron uptake.

Variation in siderophore biosynthetic gene distribution and production across environmental and faecal populations of Escherichia coli. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Iron is essential for Escherichia coli growth and survival in the host and the external environment, but its availability is generally low due to the poor solubility of its ferric form in aqueous environments and the presence of iron-withholding proteins

Aerobactin-mediated iron uptake system in intestinal Escherichia coli [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1988 Escherichia coli strains isolated from children with diarrhea were studied to determine the incidence of the components of the aerobactin system. The production of aerobactin and the presence of the aerobactin receptor were demonstrated using bioassay techniques.

P fimbriae, capsule and aerobactin characterize colonic resident Escherichia coli [PDF]
Epidemiology and Infection, 2001 Resident and transient Escherichia coli strains from the colonic microflora of 13 Swedish schoolgirls were analysed for carriage of genes encoding a range of adhesins (P, type 1 and S fimbriae, Dr haemagglutinin and three varieties of the P fimbrial papG adhesin) and other virulence traits (K1 and K5 capsule, haemolysin and aerobactin) using multiplex ...

Desferrioxamine biosynthesis : diverse hydroxamate assembly by substrate-tolerant acyl transferase DesC [PDF]
, 2018 Hydroxamate groups play key roles in the biological function of diverse natural products. Important examples include trichostatin A, which inhibits histone deacetylases via coordination of the active site zinc(II) ion with a hydroxamate group, and the ...
