Caption

Behaviour of bacteria within the host organism in conditions in which the metals inside the bacteria are abundant (left) or scarce (right). In the second case, a defence response is activated (expression of transport proteins, toxin, etc.) to increase the availability of these nutrients, such as breaking erythrocytes and releasing the metals inside these cells.
