Aerobactin

Aerobactin

Aerobactin is a bacterial siderophore found in "E. coli". [Johnson JR, Moseley SL, Roberts PL, Stamm WE. [http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=259296 "Aerobactin and Other Virulence Factor Genes among Strains of Escherichia coli Causing Urosepsis: Association with Patient Characteristics."] "Infection And Immunity". 1988;56(2):405-412] It is a virulence factor enabling "E. Coli" to sequester iron in iron-poor environments, for example, the urinary tract. [Meyrier A. [http://www.kidneyatlas.org/book2/adk2_07.pdf "Urinary Tract Infection."] "From" Schrier RW (Ed).
