The presence of siderophores contributes to virulence properties of pathogenic microorganisms. Most of them are classified in two chemical groups: phenolates and hydroxamates. Phenolates include enterobactin, the siderophore formed by practically all enteric bacteria. Hydroxamate types include terregens factor and arthrobactin (Arthrobacter species)
