This review attempts to summarize the information available on emerging trends in the treatment of tuberculosis caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Nanostructured biomaterials, liposomes, microparticles and solid lipid nanoparticles have unique physicochemical properties such as particularly small and convenient size, sustained release, great surface area to mass ratio and high reactivity with structure. These properties can be useful in easing the administration of antimicrobial drugs, thereby reducing the number of limitations in long-established antimicrobial therapeutics. In recent years, the encapsulation of antimicrobial drugs in all carrier systems has emerged as an innovative and promising change that increases therapeutic efficiency and reduces undesirable side effects of the drugs.
