Recent observations have shed light on some of the endogenous iron-acquisition mechanisms of members of the Bacillus cereus
sensu
lato group. In particular, pathogens in the B. cereus group use siderophores with both unique chemical structures and biological roles. This review will focus on recent discoveries in siderophore biosynthesis and biology in this group, which contains numerous human pathogens, most notably the causative agent of anthrax, Bacillus anthracis.
最近的观察揭示了Bacillus cereus sensu lato组成员内源性铁摄取机制的一些信息。特别是,B. cereus组中的病原体使用具有独特化学结构和生物学作用的铁载体。本综述将重点关注该组中铁载体生物合成和生物学方面的最新发现,该组包含许多人类病原体,尤其是炭疽病的病原体Bacillus anthracis。
