| Abstract |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a versatile environmental microorganism that also causes life-threatening opportunistic infections. At the root of this bacterium's ability to survive in such diverse environments is its large suite of iron acquisition systems. More recently, studies have highlighted the ability of P. aeruginosa to compete with other organisms for this essential metallonutrient. This minireview provides an overview of the iron acquisition systems used by P. aeruginosa, with an emphasis on how these systems contribute to fitness in polymicrobial environments. We also provide an evolutionary perspective of how these systems were selected for in the native habitats of the Pseudomonads, while also highlighting factors that are unique to P. aeruginosa. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 March 2015.
All research outputs
#15,327,280
of 22,796,179 outputs
Outputs from BioMetals
#382
of 643 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#156,698
of 262,958 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BioMetals
#5
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,796,179 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 643 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.2. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 262,958 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
