Insights into the Antibacterial Mechanism of Action of Chelating Agents by Selective Deprivation of Iron, Manganese, and Zinc
Bacterial growth and proliferation can be restricted by limiting the availability of metal ions in their environment. Humans sequester iron, manganese, and zinc to help prevent infection by pathogens, a system termed nutritional immunity. Commercially used chelants have high binding affinities with...
