An Evaluation of the Antibiotic Delivery Potential of Foraminifera -Tcp Nano-, Micro- and Macro-Spheres in Nanomedicine

Gentamicin sulphate is a potent antibiotic, widely used by clinicians to treat Staphylococcus aureus bacterial complications in orthopaedic surgery and osteomyelitis. Antibiotics as administered are poorly localised and can accumulate with toxic effects. Achieving a better targeted release and controlled dosage has been an ongoing unmet microengineering challenge.In this study we evaluated the antibiotic release potential of beta tricalcium...
