LTF and infection: Nanocarrier-baseddrug delivery coupledwith active targeting providesa powerful tool to manage difficult-to-treat intracellular infections.In this study, we exploited the merit of pathogen-host relation inthe war over iron mediated by host-iron-carrying protein, lactoferrin,to target intracellular bacteria with a dual combination of potentiatingantibiotics loaded in lactoferrin nanoparticles.
