Metal homeostasis and resistance in bacteria

Nature Reviews Microbiology 15, 338 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2017.15 Authors: Pete Chandrangsu, Christopher Rensing & John D. Helmann Metal ions are essential for many reactions, but excess metals can be toxic. In bacteria, metal limitation activates pathways that are involved in the import and mobilization of metals, whereas excess metals induce efflux and storage. In this Review, we highlight recent insights into metal
