Two major virulence determinants of the plant-pathogenic enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi strain 3937 are the production of pectate lyase enzymes that degrade plant cell walls and expression of two high-affinity iron uptake systems mediated by two structurally unrelated siderophores, chrysobacti...
