We hypothesized that effective prophylactic treatment of fungal infections would require adequate drug penetration and retention at potential infection sites. Using a mouse model, we examined liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) biodistribution, cell localization and retention in kidneys, lungs, liver and spleen to evaluate effective dosing regimens for prophylaxis of Candida glabrata and Candida albicans infections.
