First, there are a wide variety of enzymes which will act as solvents/penetrants of MANY membrane-type tissues/films. Bromelain
is one (a very effective one) of many. Some enzymes are "narrow spectrum" in effect and some are "wide spectrum". I have no knowledge of the effects of specific enzymes on the effectiveness/enhancement of antibiotics.
Briefly, the most effective liposomal substances are...as a general rule....the smallest in particle size. Ultrasonic
devices and HIGH PRESSURE DIFFRACTION DEVICES are, at present, the most effective for accomplishing this. Conventional air compressors could serve, quite adequately, in a large number of applications. The proviso being that one is aware that geometry
of the discharge assembly is of great importance (small particles are vital to non-injurious success).
We have utilized 90% colloidal silver X 10% DMSO SOLUTIONS to very powerful effect in addressing serious pulmonary insults in equines (all ages). We have not used enzymes in direct-address situations involving horses. Primarily, because nothing we have ever evaluated has approached the ability of DMSO as a mucous-barrier penetrating agent. Coarse-particled
gases (liquid mixtures) pose a potential threat for enabling pneumonia-type insults.
Liposomal encapsulation does, indeed, offer some profound advantages.....especially when utilized through proper
supporting equipment. However, I would counsel that "fiddling/experimenting" with pulmonary challenges among horses, by inexperienced persons (even professionals), is a very DANGEROUS endeavor. The least threatening/effective protocols we have ever utilized involved oxygen-driven fluids which were micro-sized and furnished via systems of the re-breather type.
I must go now. I hope these comments are of value to you.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.

Oral bromelain was reported to be very effective in potentiating
antibiotics. I think this is due to it's action in
penetrating/dissolving biofilms, or some similar action.
