Abstract
The subject invention provides compositions and methods for controlling iron-capturing pathogens. In preferred embodiments, the subject invention can be applied to an environment in which a pathological microorganism is growing, wherein the microorganism pathologically captures iron in order to control the pathogen by outcompeting the pathogen for iron resources.
Claims22
