These receptors are expressed under iron restricted conditions [ 6 7 8 9 ] . The role of IROMPs in iron uptake have been reported for other bacteria like Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Neisseria gonorrheae . Antibodies directed against these proteins associated with iron uptake exert a bacteriostatic or bactericidal effect, by blocking siderophore mediated iron uptake pathways [ 10 11 12 13 14 ] .
The resolution of this issue is further clouded by the apparent contradictory findings that IFN-γ is an extremely potent anti-osteoclastogenic factor [ 38 ] but it can be found at high levels in sites of osteolysis [ 39 ] .

We selected it for this study because it is rapidly bactericidal, functions well at elevated physiological salt concentrations such as those that may occur in the CF lung, and has a broad spectrum of activity [ 21 22 23 ] . PG-1's antiparallel β-hairpin structure and antimicrobial activity in physiological and elevated salt concentrations are maintained by its two intramolecular cystine disulfide bonds [ 21 24 25 26 27 28 ] .
