• pseudomonine [28] are produced under iron deficiency by various Pseudomonas species to acquire iron which is essential for cell metabolism and growth [29][30]. Studies show that siderophore–antibiotic complexes may be used as a Trojan horse strategy in which the antibiotics utilize the iron-siderophore
