- Research Expertise:
- Cloning and characterization of siderophore receptors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is known that P. aeruginosa strains can be divided into three classes based on the type of siderophore pyoverdine they produce. Since the peptidic siderophore pyoverdine is important for the virulence and fitness of P. aeruginosa, it is important to identify the three different pyoverdine receptors. Bart has cloned, sequenced and physiologically characterized the receptor for type III pyoverdine from a clinical isolate of P. aeruginosa. He is also busy characterizing a few of the 32 receptors predicted to be encoded in the genome of P. aeruginosa. He has evidence for two different enterobactine (an E. coli siderophore) receptors in P. aeruginosa as well as for two different pyoverdine receptors for type I pyoverdine. Recently, he cloned a new receptor for pyoverdine in P. aeruginosa.
