ABSTRACT A large portion of biological iron is found in the form of an iron-protoporphyrin IX complex, or heme. In the human host environment, which is exceptionally poor in free iron, heme iron, particularly from hemoglobin, constitutes a major source of iron for invading microbial pathogens. Sever...
