Abstract

Iron is an essential nutrient for life. During infection, a fierce battle of iron acquisition occurs between the host and bacterial pathogens. Bacteria acquire iron by secreting siderophores, small ferric iron binding molecules. In response, host immune cells secrete lipocalin 2 (also known as siderocalin), a siderophore-binding protein, to prevent bacterial reuptake of iron-loaded siderophores. To counter this threat, some bacteria can produce lipocalin 2-resistant siderophores. This review discusses the recently described molecular mechanisms of siderophore iron trafficking between host and bacteria, highlighting the therapeutic potential of exploiting pathogen siderophore machinery for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. As the latter reflect a persistent problem in hospital settings, siderophore-targeting or siderophore-based compounds represent a promising avenue to combat such infections.

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.
