Antimicrobial Activity of Poly-epsilon-lysine Peptide Hydrogels Against <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>

Abstract

PɛK+ hydrogels demonstrated enhanced antimicrobial activity versus nonfunctionalized pɛK hydrogels against clinically relevant Paeruginosa strains. PɛK+ hydrogels have the potential to be used as a bandage CL with innate antimicrobial characteristics to minimize the risk of microbial keratitis.
