Some bacteria possess uptake systems of all the ABC types mentioned in this chapter. For example, the pathogenic microbe H. influenzae is able to sequester iron via siderophore-type systems, ferric iron systems, and metal-type systems. Similarly, strains of Yersinia use multiple routes to take up iron bound to siderophores (e.g. yersiniabactin) and haem, as well as unliganded iron by the ferric-iron-type Yfu system and the metal-type Yfe system. No iron-uptake systems of the ABC transporter type were identified in the genomes of Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. In contrast, among the 19 ABC transporters of the related species Ureaplasma urealyticum six presumed different Fe3+ and/or haem transporters were identified [228].

Tetracyclines, such as doxycycllne, are useful since they are effective against both Ureaplasma urealyticum and Chlamydia trachomatis, two common causative agents. 

Chlamydia trachomatis is the primary cause of nongonococcal urethritis, followed by Ureaplasma urealyticum. Doxycycline is the tetracycline of choice for the treatment of nongonococcal urethritis because it has activity against both organisms. There are three tetracyclines that are primarily used for the treatment of infections tetracycline, doxycy-... 

Nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) is a clinical entity caused by either C. trachomatis or Ureaplasma urealyticum in 35 5% and 15-25% of the cases, respectively, while up to 30% are culture negative. Therapy for NGU has traditionally been 7 days of doxycycline. New studies evaluating the efficacy of azithromycin in men... 

C. Clinical Uses Erythromycin is effective in the treatment of infections caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, corynebacterium. Chlamydia trachomatis, Legionella pneumophila, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Bordetella pertussis. The drug is also active against gram-positive cocci, including pneumococci and beta-lactamase-producing staphylococci (but not MRSA strains).
