Advancements in Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases

Nanotechnology approach in tuberculosis

Nanotechnology is duplicating matter on an atomic scale. Nanotechnology refers to the construction of the structure at the micro level. The development of new drugs decreases resistance and drug interaction. In recent years, much research has been done on the development of nanotechnology-based therapy to replace the administration of antibiotics. Different animal models are tired of developing antibiotics with polymer technology. Nanoparticles are made of biocompatible and biodegradable materials that are natural or synthetic. They can easily dissolve in cells. Polymeric nanoparticles represent as bioadhesives in the gastrointestinal tract. Polylactic-co-glycolic acid [PLGA] is a copolymer accepted by the administration of food and medication for therapeutic purposes. Nano beads have a slow and sustained release of particles. The introduction of nanoparticles allows to reduce side effects, several drugs can be encapsulated in a matrix, of high constancy.
