Iron uptake in colicin B-resistant mutants of Escherichia coli K-12.

Journal of Bacteriology

Abstract

Four classes of colicin B-resistant mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 were examined for defects in iron uptake. All four mutant classes (cbt, exbC, exbB, and tonB) were defective in the uptake of ferri-ennterochelin. The tonB mutant was also defective in citrate-, ferrichrome-, and rhodoturulic acid-mediated iron uptake. The defects in iron transport were reflected in increased sensitivity to iron chelators and to chromium and aluminium salts, and in hypersecretion of enterochelin. One of the mutants (cbt) was apparently defective in outer membrane ferri-enterochelin receptor activity. aroE derivatives (unable to synthesize enterochelin) of the four mutant classes and the parent strain produced increased amounts of two outer membranes polypeptides when grown under iron stress. These polypeptides are implicated in ferri-enterochelin receptor activity.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
