摘要：

The pathogenic Neisseria have a siderophore-independent iron-uptake system reliant on a direct interaction between the bacterial cell and transferrin. In the meningococcus this uptake system is dependent on two surface-exposed transferring binding proteins. This short account will review our current knowledge of the transferrin-mediated iron-acquisition system of pathogenic Neisseria.
