Objective
To reviewe the research progress of liposomes as antibiotic carriers.
Methods
Domestic and abroad literature concerning liposomes as antibiotic carriers was reviewed and analyzed thoroughly.
Results
Liposomes as antibiotic carriers can significantly improve drug distribution, enhance antibacterial activity, and reduce the side effects of antibiotics during treatment. But it also has some problems, such as poor physical and chemical stabilities and low encapsulation efficiency.
Conclusion
Liposomes as antibiotic carriers can reduce the drug toxicity, improve drug biodistribution, and pharmacokinetics, and bring the dawn to completely curing infections disease.
