Iron and infection: the heart of the matter
Open accessAbstract
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a major threat to clinical medicine. However, natural resistance to bacterial infection, which does not depend on antibiotics, is a powerful protective mechanism common to all mankind. The availability of iron is the heart of the matter and the successful functioning of these antibacterial systems depends entirely upon an extremely low level of free ionic iron (10(-18) M) in normal tissue fluids. This in turn depends on well-oxygenated tissues where the oxidation-reduction potential (Eh) and pH control the binding of iron by unsaturated transferrin and lactoferrin. Bacterial virulence is greatly enhanced by freely available iron, such as that in fully-saturated transferrin or free haemoglobin. Following trauma a fall in tissue Eh and pH due to ischaemia, plus the reducing powers of bacteria, can make iron in transferrin freely available and abolish the bactericidal properties of tissue fluids with disastrous results for the host. Hyperbaric oxygen is a possible therapeutic measure that could restore normal bactericidal systems in infected tissues by raising the Eh and pH.

The understanding of the uptake pathways for FeEnt and FeGEnt and their degradation products has clinical importance related to their correlations with microbial virulence.
“Hence, the understanding of the uptake pathways for FeEnt and FeGEnt and their degradation products has clinical importance related to their correlations with microbial virulence (47,48).”
From Siderophore-mediated iron acquisition by <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> (2024) · cites this paper as [48]
Section 3.2 (page not specified in our copy) links bacterial iron acquisition to growth and virulence, and identifies enterobactin as an iron chelator produced by several pathogenic genera. It does not discuss FeEnt or FeGEnt uptake pathways, their degradation products, or correlations between those specific pathways and virulence. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
