描述
Aerobactin is a virulence factor for enteric bacteria found occasionally in humans, and is produced by bacteria such as Enterobacter cloacae. E. cloacae is part of the normal intestinal floras of many individuals and not a primary human pathogen but has been considered to be an important cause of nosocomial infections. Aerobactin secretion in vivo could be an important step in the stages of the infection cycle during which intestine-populating opportunistic bacteria effectively colonize the gut, penetrate the mucous layer covering the intestinal villi, translocate out of intestinal lumen through the epithelial cells, and finally spread to organs within which they may survive.
