Selection and characterization of siderophores of pathogenic Escherichia coli intestinal and extraintestinal isolates

Microorganisms adopt a unique mechanism for sequestration and transport of bound iron by producing iron-chelating molecules called siderophores. Siderophores play an important role in colonization of microbes in iron-deficient sites of the host, hence acting as an important virulence factor and prom...
