Critical Role for Molecular Iron in Coxiella burnetii Replication and Viability
Host organisms restrict the availability of iron to invading pathogens in order to reduce pathogen replication. To counteract the host’s response to infection, bacteria can rely on redundant mechanisms to obtain biologically diverse forms of iron during infection. C. burnetii appears specifically de...
