This review outlines how vertebrate hosts restrict or overload metals like Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu to combat bacterial pathogens, and how bacteria adapt to survive. These dynamics shape infection outcomes and microbial ecology, offering new targets for antimicrobial therapy and microbiome-based interventions.
