Buried Treasure: Evolutionary Perspectives on Microbial Iron Piracy

Host–pathogen interactions provide valuable systems for the study of evolutionary genetics and natural selection. The sequestration of essential iron has emerged as a crucial innate defense system termed nutritional immunity, leading pathogens to evolve mechanisms of ‘iron piracy’ to scavenge this m...
