UMBC’s Aaron Smith lab reveals how a harmful bacterium senses iron – and why it matters for fighting infection
A two-protein system inside the bacterium operates like a sensitive switch. The pair detects iron outside and inside the cell and then rewrites large parts of the microbe’s metabolism. The results suggest this system could become a target for more effective treatments for infections.
