Fine beak of bacteria

It is very important to know where and how the bacteria take iron to get better weapons against it.

Researchers have shown that the bacterium Stapylococcus aureus contains iron from the heme group of blood hemoglobin and not the transferrin that carries iron. In fact, 80% of the iron found throughout the body is hemoglobin.

Like other bacteria, S. aureus needs iron to reproduce, so it is very important to know where and how the bacteria take iron to get better weapons against it.
