Abstract

Salmonella employs an arsenal of different tools to obtain iron. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Spiga et al. add to these mechanisms, revealing that commensal Bacteroides species use a specialized lipoprotein to acquire catecholate siderophores from Enterobacteriaceae, only to have them reacquired by Salmonella.
