Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella haemolytica do not produce hydroxamate- or phenolate type siderophores. However, transport- and utilization systems could be detected for the well known siderophores ferrioxamine B, E, G, rhizoferrin and the intermediate 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid by means of cross-feeding tests in both Pasteurella species. Enterobactin and ferrichrome did not feed any of the Pasteurella strains tested. Additionally, alpha-ketoacids and alpha-hydroxyacids such as pyruvic acid, alpha-hydroxyisovaleric acid and others acting as primary metabolites enabled growth of P. multocida and P. haemolytica under iron limitation.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007651	Keto Acids	Carboxylic acids that contain a KETONE group.	Oxo Acids,Oxoacids,Acids, Keto,Acids, Oxo
D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
D006880	Hydroxy Acids	Organic compounds containing both the hydroxyl and carboxyl radicals.	Hydroxy Acid,Acid, Hydroxy,Acids, Hydroxy
D016978	Mannheimia haemolytica	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria normally commensal in the flora of CATTLE and SHEEP. But under conditions of physical or PHYSIOLOGICAL STRESS, it can cause MASTITIS in sheep and SHIPPING FEVER or ENZOOTIC CALF PNEUMONIA in cattle. Its former name was Pasteurella haemolytica.	Pasteurella haemolytica,Pasteurella hemolytica
D016979	Pasteurella multocida	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria normally found in the flora of the mouth and respiratory tract of animals and birds. It causes shipping fever (see PASTEURELLOSIS, PNEUMONIC); HEMORRHAGIC BACTEREMIA; and intestinal disease in animals. In humans, disease usually arises from a wound infection following a bite or scratch from domesticated animals.
D017262	Siderophores	Low-molecular-weight compounds produced by microorganisms that aid in the transport and sequestration of ferric iron. (The Encyclopedia of Molecular Biology, 1994)	Siderophore,Siderochromes
