Abstract:The need for new antimicrobial agents (AntAg) is driven by the persistent antibiotic resistance in microorganisms, as well as the increasing frequency of pandemics. Due to the deficiency of AntAg, research aimed at developing speedy approaches to find new drug candidates is relevant. This study aims to conduct an in silico study of the biological activity spectrum as well as the molecular binding mechanisms of four structurally different forms of levofloxacin (Lvf) with bacterial topoisomerases targets of type… Show more
