Background/Objectives: The escalating crisis of antibiotic resistance and the inherent limitations of conventional antibiotics necessitate the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. Targeted drug delivery (TDD) offers a powerful approach to enhance efficacy, minimize systemic toxicity, and circumvent bacterial resistance. This systematic review aims to evaluate the potential of unique bacterial transport systems (BTSs) and surface specific receptors as platforms for TDD via the "Trojan Horse" strategy (THS). Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted, focusing on studies that investigated the specificity and mechanisms of BTSs responsible for the uptake of essential metabolites. This includes an analysis of transport systems for siderophores, bacteria-specific sugars, cell wall components, D-amino acids, and vitamins. We assessed preclinical and clinical examples of drug conjugates utilizing these pathways, as well as emerging platforms such as bacteriophage-derived proteins, antibody-antibiotic conjugates, and bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs). Results: BTSs demonstrate high specificity for their cognate substrates, providing effective molecular gateways for drug conjugate import. The siderophore-cephalosporin conjugate cefiderocol represents a clinically validated example, having received FDA approval. Preclinical studies further reveal that conjugates utilizing sugars (e.g., maltose, trehalose) and vitamins (e.g., B12) can significantly enhance antibiotic uptake and activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, including drug-resistant strains. Emerging platforms like bacteriophage endolysins and engineered EVs show promise for overcoming biological barriers such as bacterial outer membranes and intracellular host niches. Conclusions: The THS leveraging BTSs represents a clinically viable and promising avenue for next-generation antibacterial therapies. While significant progress has been made, including regulatory approval of cefiderocol, further research is critically needed to identify novel BTSs, optimize drug-linker chemistry, improve the pharmacokinetics and biosafety of conjugates, and translate these innovative platforms into effective treatments for drug-resistant infections.
