摘要
For the majority of bacterial pathogens, acquisition of iron from host proteins is a prerequisite for growth during infection. The mechanisms by which Gram-negative bacteria obtain iron from host proteins have been well described, but only recently has substantial progress been made in identifying these mechanisms for Gram-positive bacterial pathogens. This review provides an overview of the existing knowledge on the genetic basis of iron transport for important Gram-positive pathogens. (C) 2002 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
