Frequency evaluation of genes encoding siderophores and the effects of different concentrations of Fe ions on growth rate of uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Frequency evaluation of genes encoding siderophores and the effects of different concentrations of Fe ions on growth rate of uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Background and Objectives: Bacteria need iron for growth and most of them can actively acquire Fe ions using especial iron-chelating proteins which named siderophores. We aimed to determine the frequencies of iucA, iroN and irp2 genes in the uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) isolates. We also a...
