In silico testing to identify compounds that inhibit ClfA and ClfB binding to the host for the formulation of future drugs against Staphylococcus aureus colonization and infection

Abstract excerpt

Introduction Staphylococcus aureus is a highly resistant pathogen. It has multiple virulence factors, which makes it one of the most pathogenic bacteria for humankind. The vast increase in antibiotic resistance in these bacteria is a warning of existing healthcare policies. Most of the available antibiotics are ineffective due to resistance; this situation requires the development of drugs that target specific...
