MntP and YiiP Contribute to Manganese Efflux in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium under Conditions of Manganese Overload and Nitrosative Stress.

The divalent transition metal cation manganese is important for protein function, particularly under conditions of iron limitation, nitrosative stress, and oxidative stress, but can mediate substantial toxicity in excess. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium possesses multiple manganese importers, but the pathways for manganese efflux remain poorly defined. The .
