title: Siderophore production by Pasteurella multocida.
abstract: Pasteurella multocida grown under conditions of iron deprivation secreted into the culture medium a growth-enhancing factor which functioned as a siderophore. The siderophore was found to be neither a phenolate nor a hydroxamate by chemical tests and bioassays and was given the trivial name multocidin. Multocidin was partially purified and found to be a highly polar, nonaromatic, and dialyzable compound. This is the first report demonstrating the production of a siderophore by P. multocida.
