Inhibiting heme piracy by pathogenic Escherichia coli using de novo-designed proteins

Abstract Iron is an essential nutrient for most bacteria and is often growth-limiting during infection, due to the host sequestering free iron as part of the innate immune response. To obtain the iron required for growth, many bacterial pathogens encode transporters capable of extracting the iron-co...
