Bacterial fish pathogens are one of the key challenges in the aquaculture industry, one of
the fast-growing industries worldwide. These pathogens rely on arsenal of virulence factors …

Siderophores are unique ferric ion chelators produced and secreted by some organisms like
bacteria, fungi and plants under iron deficiency conditions. These molecules possess …

The emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial pathogens has raised
global concern. Nontraditional therapeutic strategies, including antivirulence approaches …

The stereoselective synthesis of fimsbactin A, a siderophore of the human pathogen
Acinetobacter baumannii, was established. Based on this synthetic route, various fimsbactin …

Pathogenic Acinetobacter baumannii excrete the siderophore pre-acinetobactin as an iron-
scavenging virulence factor. Pre-acinetobactin is a 2, 3-dihydroxy-phenyl oxazoline that …

Amonabactins are a group of four related catecholate siderophores produced by several
species of the genus Aeromonas, including A. hydrophila and the fish pathogen A …

Amonabactins, the siderophores produced by some pathogenic bacteria belonging to
Aeromonas genus, can be used for the preparation of conjugates to be imported into the cell …

Photobacterium damselae subsp damselae (Pdd) is a Vibrionaceae that has a wide
pathogenic potential against many marine animals and also against humans. Some strains …

Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida (A. salmonicida), a Gram-negative bacterium
causing furunculosis in fish, produces the siderophores acinetobactin and amonabactins in …

This chapter provides an overview of the current understanding of iron acquisition
mechanisms in Aeromonas. Two mechanisms, heme utilization and siderophore synthesis …
