摘要:
A powder for inhalatory aerosol delivery, the powder having: spray freeze dried liposome particles with a biologically active agent, such as an antibiotic, encapsulated within a phospholipid, and a method of producing a powder for inhalatory aerosol delivery, the method including the steps of: mixing a biologically active agent with a phospholipid to form a liquid liposome suspension; and spray freeze drying the liposome suspension to form particles of powder.
摘要:
A respirable composition for treatment of a bacterial infection includes one or more active bacteriophages in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable respirable carrier. The composition includes a carbohydrate carrier, and is prepared as fine powder. In another aspect, bacteriophages are provided in a liquid carrier for administration by nebulization. In one aspect, the bacteriophages have anti-bacterial activity against one or more species or strains of Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) bacteria. The invention further relates to the use of a BCC bacteriophage to treat a BCC infection, in particular in an individual suffering from cystic fibrosis.
