Cascade-Targeting Poly(amino acid) Nanoparticles Eliminate Intracellular Bacteria via On-Site Antibiotic Delivery

Wenli Feng et al.

Summary: A cascade-targeting drug delivery system has been developed to sequentially target macrophages and intracellular bacteria, allowing on-site drug delivery. The system encapsulates rifampicin into mannose-decorated nanoparticles, which are designed to specifically target macrophages and then release the drug in acidic environments to effectively eliminate intracellular bacteria. The system also modulates the innate immune response of infected macrophages, enhancing antibacterial capacity.
