• Genome-wide Phenotypic Profiling Identifies and Categorizes Genes Required for Mycobacterial Low Iron Fitness 

      Dragset, Marte Singsås; Ioerger, Thomas R.; Zhang, Yanjia; Mærk, Mali; Ginbot, Zekarias; Flo, Trude Helen; Rubin, Eric J; Steigedal, Magnus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Iron is vital for nearly all living organisms, but during infection, not readily available to pathogens. Infectious bacteria therefore depend on specialized mechanisms to survive when iron is limited. These mechanisms make ...
    • Mycobacterial Esx-3 Requires Multiple Components for Iron Acquisition 

      Siegrist, M. Sloan; Steigedal, Magnus; Ahmad, Rushdy; Mehra, Alka; Dragset, Marte Singsås; Schuster, Brian M.; Phillips, Jennifer A.; Carr, Steven A.; Rubin, Eric J (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      The type VII secretion systems are conserved across mycobacterial species and in many Gram-positive bacteria. While the well-characterized Esx-1 pathway is required for the virulence of pathogenic mycobacteria and conjugation ...
