Copper selects for siderophore-mediated virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

BACKGROUND: Iron is essential for almost all bacterial pathogens and consequently it is actively withheld by their hosts. However, the production of extracellular siderophores enables iron sequestration by pathogens, increasing their virulence. Another function of siderophores is extracellular detox...
