Siderophore-mediated iron acquisition plays a critical role in biofilm formation and survival of Staphylococcus epidermidis within the host

Iron acquisition through siderophores, a class of small, potent iron-chelating organic molecules, is a widely spread strategy among pathogens to survive in the iron-restricted environment found in the host. Although these molecules have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several species, there i...
