Transcriptional profiles of uropathogenic Escherichia coli CFT073 exposed to cranberry-derived proanthocyanidins (PACs) were determined. Our results indicate that bacteria grown on media supplemented with PACs were iron deprived. To our knowledge, this is the first time that PACs have been shown to induce a state of iron limitation in this bacterium.

- Understanding the factors influencing the movement and retention of pathogenic microorganisms in groundwater is crucial for preventing microbial contamination.
- The study examined five waterborne pathogens, including various bacteria and cyanobacteria, in laboratory conditions to see how well they attach to clean quartz sand at different ionic strengths.
- The findings suggest significant differences in how these pathogens adhere to surfaces, emphasizing the importance of further research on their surface properties and transport behavior in natural soil environments.
