Zinc uptake system ZnuACB is essential for maintaining pathogenic phenotype of F4ac(+) enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) under a zinc restricted environment
Zinc is the second trace element of living organisms after iron. Given its crucial importance, mammalian hosts restrict the bioavailability of Zinc ions (Zn(2+)) to bacterial pathogens. As a countermeasure, pathogens utilize high affinity Zn(2+) transporters, such as ZnuACB to compete with the host...
