Iron acquisition is a vital process for most pathogenic bacteria, as iron is a limiting nutrient during infection. Staphylococcus aureus, an increasingly important pathogen, acquires iron from host heme via elaboration of the iron-regulated surface determinant system (Isd). IsdG and IsdI are heme oxygenases that have been proposed to degrade exogenous heme in the bacterial cytoplasm as a mechanism to liberate free iron for use as a nutrient source. Herein, web report that IsdG and IsdI are both important for S. aureus growth on hemin as a sole iron source and are necessary for full S. aureus pathogenesis. Investigations into the regulation of these enzymes revealed that IsdG and IsdI are differentially regulated by iron and heme through both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms. Additionally, IsdI was found to be expressed in infected tissues at the sites of abscess formation, suggesting that abscesses are iron-starved microenvironments inside the host. These findings suggest that S. aureus differentially regulates IsdG and IsdI in response to alterations in iron and heme availability during infection.
