Abstract

Successful microbial pathogens must be adept in obtaining growth-essential iron from healthy hosts. Some potential pathogens, however, are sufficiently impaired in iron acquisition ability so as to be dangerous mainly in hosts with such iron loading conditions as alcoholism, asplenia, hemochromatosis, beta-thalassemia major, or tobacco smoking. The association of six impaired pathogens (Capnocytophaga canimorsis, Yersinia enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis, Vibrio vulnificus, Tropheryma whippelii, and Legionella pneumophila) with iron loaded humans is described.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Individuals with iron overload have increased susceptibility to bacterial infection; patients with hemochromatosis are more susceptible to Yersinia enterocolitica, Vibrio vulnificans, and Listeria monocytogenes.

    “For example, patients with hemochromatosis are more susceptible to infection by Yersinia enterocolitica, Vibrio vulnificans, and Listeria monocytogenes [39–42].”

    From Metal ion acquisition in Staphylococcus aureus: overcoming nutritional immunity (2012) · cites this paper as [41]

  • People with hereditary hemochromatosis are highly susceptible to normally noninvasive microbes such as Vibrio vulnificus and Yersinia enterocolitica.

    “individuals with HH are highly susceptible to infection by normally noninvasive microbes, such as the bacteria Vibrio vulnificus and Yersinia enterocolitica 62, 63, 64.”

    From Buried Treasure: Evolutionary Perspectives on Microbial Iron Piracy (2015) · cites this paper as [64]

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.
