n the Biological Inorganic Chemistry Group we are inspired to better understand metal ions acquisition and homeostasis in pathogenic bacteria, and in this review we present three different approaches to the role of these processes. The growing importance of a full understanding of the iron transport system in pathogens prompted us to study synthetic analogs of siderophores, used as structural probes in the process of iron uptake by microorganisms. The ferrichrome biomimetic analogs allowed efficient Fe(III) chelation under biological conditions and were recognized better by P. putida. than E. coli, suggesting differences in uptake mechanisms. Addition of a fluorescent probe to the compound …
