Liposome‐trapped penicillin causes growth inhibition of penicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (meta 18), Bacillus licheniformis (749/C) and Escherichia coli. Liposome has been prepared from the positively charged, negatively charged and polar lipids of respective organisms. Positively charged liposome containing penicillin causes 77% growth inhibition in the case of Staph. aureus (meta 18) and 61% in the case of Esch. coli. In the case of B. licheniformis (749/C), 40–43% growth inhibition has been observed with liposome‐entrapped penicillin. Homology, composition and charge of liposomes do not seem to have significant effect in percentage inhibition of this organism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
