Abstract:Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are the only microorganisms that are known to form intracellular magnetic nanoparticles. Iron and zinc are important elements required for the survival of pathogenic bacteria. While the host immunity prevents the bacteria easy access to these elements, virulent bacteria have evolved multiple mechanisms to access these elements. The response of pathogenic bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae was evaluated in the pre… Show more
