Siderophores: More than Stealing Iron
mBio, 2016 Siderophores are small molecular iron chelators that are produced by microbes and whose most notable function is to sequester iron from the host and provide this essential metal nutrient to microbes.

Antibiotic resistance and siderophores production by clinical Escherichia coli strains
BioTechnologia, 2022 The phenomenon of antibiotic resistance has dramatically increased in the last few decades, especially in enterobacterial pathogens. Different strains of Escherichia coli have been reported to produce a variety of structurally different siderophores.

Bacillus anthracis Siderophores
Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2016 Iron is an essential for growth and reproduction of bacteria element. One of the ways of its acquisition by Bacillus anthracis is utilization of high-affinity chelating agents of iron ions - bacillibactin and petrobactin siderophores, extracting the iron

Maintenance of Microbial Cooperation Mediated by Public Goods in Single- and Multiple-Trait Scenarios [PDF]
, 2017 Microbes often form densely populated communities, which favor competitive and cooperative interactions. Cooperation among bacteria often occurs through the production of metabolically costly molecules produced by certain individuals that become ...

Pyoverdine and proteases affect the response of pseudomonas aeruginosa to gallium in human serum [PDF]
, 2015 Gallium is an iron mimetic which has recently been repurposed as an antibacterial agent due to its capability to disrupt bacterial iron metabolism. In this study, the antibacterial activity of gallium nitrate [Ga(NO3)3] was investigated in complement ...

Hydroxamate production as a high affinity iron acquisition mechanism in Paracoccidioides spp. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Iron is a micronutrient required by almost all living organisms, including fungi. Although this metal is abundant, its bioavailability is low either in aerobic environments or within mammalian hosts.
