ABSTRACT
Iron is required by virtually all organisms to grow. Although there is plenty of iron present in the body fluids of vertebrates, the amounts of free iron, which might be readily available to bacteria, is extremely small. Specific high-affinity transport systems for the uptake of ferric iron enable pathogenic bacteria to compete successfully with other bacteria with host mechanisms to sequester iron
