Hydroxamate production as a high affinity iron acquisition mechanism in Paracoccidioides spp.

Hydroxamate production as a high affinity iron acquisition mechanism in Paracoccidioides spp.

Iron is a micronutrient required by almost all living organisms, including fungi. Although this metal is abundant, its bioavailability is low either in aerobic environments or within mammalian hosts. As a consequence, pathogenic microorganisms evolved high affinity iron acquisition mechanisms which...
