摘要：
The amount of iron that might be readily available to bacteria in body fluids is extremely small. This iron restricted environment induces phenotypic changes in the metabolism and in the composition of the membrane proteins of bacteria growing in vivo. These changes are now providing a fresh insight into the capabilities of bacteria to multiply in host tissues and are suggesting new possibilities for targetting therapeutic and prophylactic measures. © 1990 Indian Academy of Sciences.
