Abstract
Iron is essential for both the host and its resident microbes, resulting in competition under iron-deficient conditions. However, the molecular details underlying this competition are not fully understood. In this issue, Das etal. (2019) describe how a common gut commensal disrupts the host iron regulatory pathway to prevent uptake when iron is scarce.
