<em>In silico </em>study of various compounds from essential oil of <em>Cymbopogon winterianus</em> against <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa </em>targets

Abstract

Graphical Abstract AbstractPseudomonas aeruginosa is a gramnegative bacterium that can be found in soil, aquatic environments or on the surface of animals, plants and humans [1]. It is commonly isolated in immunocompromised patients in intensive care units and can cause urinary tract infections, pneumonia, folliculitis, otitis, keratitis, osteomyelitis and meningitis [2,3]. The compounds present in oils of species of the genus Cymbopogon are known to present several activities, including antimicrobial activity [4]. This work aims to perform a multitarget molecular modeling of essential oil components from citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus) against P. aeruginosa.
