Killing of Intraphagocytic Staphylococcus aureus by Dihydrostreptomycin Entrapped Within Liposomes

Peter F Bonventre 1,†, Gregory Gregoriadis 1
PMCID: PMC352389  PMID: 79336

Abstract

Liposomes (phospholipid vesicles) may serve as vehicles of antibiotic transport to intracellular sites. Liposomes containing entrapped dihydrostreptomycin enhanced killing of Staphylococcus aureus contained within phagocytic vacuoles.
