Abstract
Double whammy: Effective and selective killing of E. coli cells containing a specific enzyme was achieved by using targeted enzyme-responsive drug carriers (see picture) that release free drugs in a stringently controlled manner. The carrier lowered the effective concentration of drug needed to kill the bacteria. The system could also be modified to deliver a combination of two drugs.
