Abstract:

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacterium that can be found in soil, aquatic environments or on the surface of animals, plants and humans. It is commonly isolated in immunocompromised patients in intensive care units and can cause urinary tract infections, pneumonia, folliculitis, otitis, keratitis, osteomyelitis and meningitis. The compounds present in oils of species of the genus Cymbopogon are known to present several activities, including antimicrobial activity. This work aims to perform a multi-target molecular modeling of essential oil components from citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus) against P. aeruginosa.

Keywords: Pseudomonas; in silico; multi-target; molecular docking
