Homology modeling, virtual screening, molecular docking, and dynamics studies for discovering Staphylococcus epidermidis FtsZ inhibitors
Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most common cause of medical device-associated infections and is an opportunistic biofilm former. Among hospitalized patients, S. epidermidis infections are the most prevalent, and resistant to most antibiotics. In order to overcome this resistance, it is imperative...
