Abstract
Histoplasma capsulatum is a dimorphic fungal pathogen that survives and replicates within macrophages (MΦ). Studies in human and murine MΦ demonstrate that the intracellular growth of H. capsulatum yeasts is exquisitely sensitive to the availability of iron. As H. capsulatum produces hydroxamate sid …
