Dopamine Is a Siderophore-Like Iron Chelator That Promotes Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Virulence in Mice
ABSTRACT We have recently shown that the catecholamine dopamine regulates cellular iron homeostasis in macrophages.As iron is an essential nutrient for microbes, and intracellular iron availability affects the growth of intracellular bacteria, we studied whether dopamine administration impacts the course of Salmonella infections.Dopamine afck bench
