Study on the Evolution and Expression of the Pyoverdine Receptor FpvA inPseudomonas aeruginosa

Creator:

Singh, Amandip

Abstract:

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous gram-negative bacterium that is capable of causing infections in people who are immune compromised. The bacterium can live in a variety of environments due to the variety of virulence factors it can produce. It is well adapted to living in iron-stringent conditions because it can...

Studies on the evolution and expression of the Type II ferripyoverdine receptor gene fpvAIIb in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Creator:

Glover, Rochelle

Abstract:

When iron levels are low, the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes the high-affinity iron-binding siderophore pyoverdine. The cognate ferripyoverdine receptor, FpvA, has gained attention as the most divergent gene in the organism’s genome, showing substantial evidence of positive selection. S-type pyocins, bacteriocins with specificity to Pseudomonads, enter cells through FpvA...
