DOI: 10.1128/aac.02643-18
Abstract: Iron/heme acquisition systems are critical for microorganisms to acquire iron from the human host, where iron sources are limited due to the nutritional immune system and insolubility of the ferric form of iron. Prior work… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12866-019-1511-x
Abstract: BackgroundPorphyromonas gingivalis is considered a keystone pathogen responsible for chronic periodontitis. Although several virulence factors produced by this bacterium are quite well characterized, very little is known about regulatory mechanisms that allow different strains of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3324/haematol.2016.151043
Abstract: Iron plays the central role in oxygen transport by erythrocytes as a constituent of heme and hemoglobin. The importance of iron and heme is also to be found in their regulatory roles during erythroblast maturation.… read more here.
