Enterobactin deficiency in a coliform mastitis isolate decreases its fitness in a murine model : a preliminary host-pathogen interaction study

Iron is an essential nutrient for bacterial growth. Therefore, bacteria have evolved chelation mechanisms to acquire iron for their survival. Enterobactin, a chelator with high affinity for ferric iron, is secreted by Escherichia coli and contributes to its improved bacterial fitness. In this prelim...
