Role of Iron in Microbe-Host Interactions
Abstract
The ability of microorganisms that would like to live in or on mammalian hosts to acquire iron is a critical determinant of the host-parasite interaction. Despite the abundance of iron, its availability to microbes is restricted by the iron-binding and transport systems of the host. The successful commensal or pathogen therefore must express effective systems to compete for its iron. The acquisition of iron is thus essential, although not sufficient, for virulence. This review examines host and microbial iron-acquisition and transport mechanisms in an attempt to stimulate the reader's interest in potential "soft spots" that may be exploited prophylactically and therapeutically.

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.
