<p>Antimicrobial Peptide-Loaded Nanoparticles as Inhalation Therapy for <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> Infections</p>

Abstract

This study revealed that the encapsulation of the antimicrobial peptide in dextran nanoparticles markedly improved lung residence time of the peptide administered via aerosol. The result has to be considered among the aims of the development of a new therapeutic option for patients suffering recurrent infections, that will benefit from high local doses of persistent antimicrobials.
