| Abstract | Streptomycin and chloramphenicol were entrapped within large neutral or anionic unilamellar vesicles of egg phosphatidylcholine prepared by an ether injection method. Both antibiotics in liposomal form were inactive against Escherichia coli in a simple tube dilution assay. A comparison was made of the activities of the free and liposomal forms of the antibiotics against E. coli located within the macrophages of the J774.2 murine cell line. The apparent intracellular antibacterial activity of both antibiotics was increased more than 10-fold by entrapment in neutral liposomes and in the case of chloramphenicol in anionic liposomes containing phosphatidylserine. Anionic liposomes containing phosphatidic acid were much less effective carriers than neutral liposomes for either antibiotic in this in vitro system. Incubation at 4 degrees C of cells with liposomes containing antibiotic or carboxyfluorescein inhibited intracellular antibacterial activity and cell-associated fluorescence. The high intracellular activity of the liposomal antibiotics is consistent with their phagocytic uptake by the macrophages followed by intracellular liposomal degradation and antibiotic release. Liposomal modification of cellular uptake and intracellular distribution of antibiotics may be used to extend the activity of existing and new agents against intracellular infection of the reticuloendothelial system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
