Abstract
In 180 staphylococcal strains of diverse origin belonging to 26 specie s a hydroxamate class siderophore was detected with chemical test. In 65% of investigated strains it was identified by biological assay as a erobactin. A correlation between hydroxamate siderophore production, s pecies affiliation and pathogenicity was not found. In 14 (7.8%) strai ns a catechol class siderophore, beside aerobactin, was detected.
