Under iron-restricted conditions staphylococcal strains could utilize in vitro human body iron sources in form of haemoglobin, haemin, transferrin and lactoferrin. Iron was taken up after proteolytic degradation of the binding protein and by means of siderophores. Siderophores were identified as hydroxamates.
