Phenotypic Adaptation of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> in the Presence of Siderophore-Antibiotic Conjugates during Epithelial Cell Infection

Iron acquisition pathways have often been considered to be gateways for the uptake of antibiotics into bacteria. Bacteria excrete chelators, called siderophores, to access iron. Antibiotic molecules can be covalently attached to siderophores for their transport into pathogens during the iron-uptake...
