A heavy metal traditionally considered safe enough for over-the-counter gastrointestinal remedies (Pepto-Bismol, De-Nol), bismuth is re-emerging as a potent antimicrobial synergist. Its key property: Bi3+ competes with Fe3+ for binding sites on siderophores and bacteria…
An opportunistic fungal pathogen whose relationship with metals is multifaceted: C. albicans can biosorb heavy metals from its environment, heavy metal exposure promotes its virulence in immunocompromised hosts, and metal nanoparticles are being developed as antifungal …
A haploid, asexual yeast and the second most common cause of invasive candidiasis after Candida albicans. Recently reclassified into the genus Nakaseomyces (as N. glabratus), though the name C. glabrata remains in widespread clinical use. Unlike C. albicans, C. glabrata…
An essential trace element that is primarily protective in its biological roles. Unlike most metals in this wiki, selenium's toxicological significance lies more in the consequences of its deficiency than its excess. Selenium is the backbone of the selenoproteome -- a f…
A non-essential metal with a 5,000-year history of antimicrobial use, silver has re-emerged as a critical tool in the post-antibiotic era. What makes silver particularly interesting from a metallomics perspective is not that it kills bacteria -- many metals do -- but ho…
