title: Siderocalins: siderophore-binding proteins of the innate immune system.
abstract: Recent studies have revealed that the mammalian immune system directly interferes with siderophore-mediated iron acquisition through siderophore-binding proteins and that the association of certain siderophores, or siderophore modifications, with virulence is a direct response of pathogens to evade these defenses.
