Maps the complete metal acquisition arsenal of Staphylococcus aureus and the nutritional immunity systems the host deploys to counter each—transforming WikiBiome's understanding of how calprotectin-mediated manganese/zinc sequestration drives both pathogenic persistence and dysbiotic inflammation. This mechanistic completeness is foundational to modeling metal-dependent pathogenesis across wound, respiratory, and systemic infections.
