Copper import in Escherichia coli by the yersiniabactin metallophore system

Copper plays a dual role as nutrient and toxin during bacterial infections. While uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains can use the copper-binding metallophore yersiniabactin (Ybt) to resist copper toxicity, Ybt also converts bioavailable copper to Cu(II)-Ybt in low copper conditions.
