Abstract
Siderophore activity of Staphylococcus aureus was detected in an iron- restricted chemically defined medium, The molecular mass of this sider ophore, called aureochelin, was 577 Da. Surface-associated proteins of 120, 88, 57, 35, and 33 kDa were mainly expressed under iron restrict ion conditions, Results showed a relationship between siderophore prod uction and the existence of the 120- and 88-kDa proteins, Western blot ting of surface-associated proteins revealed that these proteins were recognized both by patients sera and polyclonal rabbit serum.
