• Sommario/riassunto: Provides an up-to-date survey of iron transport systems in bacteria- Details iron transport and its regulation in E. coli as a prototype for iron transport systems in gram-negative bacteria- Includes chapters on the major gram-negative, gram-positive and acid-fast bacterial pathogens - their iron transport systems and the roles of these systems in virulence- Presents structural studies of siderophores, heme carriers, and iron transport proteins- Discusses the ecology of siderophores and their potential therapeutic uses.
