Background

  • Bacteria that are particularly stimulated by excess iron

Microbiology

Pathophysiology

  • Bacteria have a siderophore, that allows acquisition of iron from the environment
  • Yersinia does not have a siderophore, but has receptors for iron-bound exogenous siderophores such as deferoxamine

Risk Factors
