Resumen

The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has generated super bacteria resistant to many conventional drugs. Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the use of conventional treatments for this disease generates significant damage to the liver and kidney functions of patients, which is why treatments are required that allow early diagnosis and selectivity for Pathogenic bacteria. In this work, a drug currently used for the treatment of tuberculosis (rifampicin) and silver nanoparticles as luminescent biomarkers are being encapsulated, and estimated by means of UV–VIS, FTIR, and DLS techniques for the design of theragnostic liposomes. The results show that this type of liposomes have important characteristics to be used as elements of early diagnosis in addition to its possible therapeutic use.
