Abstract

Microbial biotechnology Pharmacology, pharmaceutical microbiology and nanotechnology in recent years gave birth to an exciting new field called Microbial Nanotechnology. Engineered microbial nanoparticles take on the role of carriers, with biocompatibility and tunable properties for precise drug delivery. By introducing surface modification or ligands, administration of certain therapeutic agents becomes targeted to the site of a disease.
