1.B.14.1.4
CirA Fe3+-catecholate receptor. Serves as the receptor for the TonB- and proton-dependent uptake of the E. coli bacteriocin, Microcin L (MccL) (Morin et al., 2011). CirA is also the translocator for colicin Ia (Jakes and Finkelstein, 2010). Plays roles in cefiderocol and ceftazidime resistance (Ito et al. 2018).  Genotypic evolution of Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 512 during Ceftazidime/Avibactam, Meropenem/Vaborbactam, and Cefiderocol treatment.  This occurred through plasmid loss, outer membrane porin alteration, and a nonsense mutation in the cirA siderophore gene, resulting in high levels of cefiderocol resistance (Arcari et al. 2023).
