Abstract excerpt
The widespread use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics to treat Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infections has led to a rise in fluoroquinolone-resistant Mtb strains, mainly due to specific mutations in the target DNAgyrase. To overcome this resistance and develop treatment alternatives, a deeper understanding of fluoroquinolone's mechanism of action is necessary. In this study we performed molecular dynamics (MD)...
