Successful microbial pathogens must be adept in obtaining growth-essential iron from healthy hosts. Some potential pathogens, however, are sufficiently impaired in iron acquisition ability so as to be dangerous mainly in hosts with such iron loading conditions as alcoholism, asplenia, hemochromatosis, beta-thalassemia major, or tobacco smoking. The association of six impaired pathogens (Capnocytophaga canimorsis, Yersinia enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis, Vibrio vulnificus, Tropheryma whippelii, and Legionella pneumophila) with iron loaded humans is described.
