Pyoverdines are siderophores produced by fluorescent P seudomonads to acquire iron. At
least 60 different pyoverdines produced by diverse strains have been chemically …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of hospital-acquired pneumonia and chronic
lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients. Iron is essential for bacterial growth, and P …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium which can cause serious infections
among immune-depressed people including cystic fibrosis patients where it can colonize the …

The siderophore pyoverdine (PVD) is a primary virulence factor of the human pathogenic
bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, acting as both an iron carrier and a virulence-related …

Although antibiotic resistance represents a public health emergency, the pipeline of new
antibiotics is running dry. Repurposing of old drugs for new clinical applications is an …

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein controls both
metabolism and virulence in response to iron availability. Differently from other bacteria …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a challenging pathogen due to both innate and acquired
resistance to antibiotics. It is capable of causing a variety of infections, including chronic lung …

Pyoverdines, the main siderophores produced by fluorescent Pseudomonads, comprise a
fluorescent dihydroxyquinoline chromophore attached to a strain-specific peptide. These …

In its canonical interpretation, quorum sensing (QS) allows single cells in a bacterial
population to synchronize gene expression and hence perform specific tasks collectively …

Pyoverdine I (PVDI) and pyochelin (PCH) are the two major siderophores produced by
Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 to import iron. The biochemistry of the biosynthesis of …
