The siderophore yersiniabactin binds copper to protect pathogens during infection
Bacterial pathogens secrete chemically diverse iron chelators called siderophores, which may exert additional distinctive functions in vivo. Among these, uropathogenic E.coli often co-express the virulence-associated siderophore yersiniabactin (Ybt) along with catecholate siderophores. Here we used...
