Patent ID: 10342849

Abstract:
Compositions and methods for treating infectious diseases produced by biofilms are disclosed. More specifically, the present disclosure refers to a pharmaceutical composition which may be used for treating biofilm infections, specifically, biofilms formed by bacteria such as Pseudomonas, E. coli, Klebsiella, and other human pathogens. Pharmaceutical compositions may include a nutrient dispersion that can include sodium citrate, succinic acid, xylitol, glutamic acid, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), among others. Additionally disclosed pharmaceutical composition may include active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) such as antibiotics. Subsequently, the antibiotics agent may be ciprofloxacin, amikacin, tobramycin, colistin methate, or polymixin, among others. Pharmaceutical compositions disclosed may employ chemotactic agents in order to disrupt biofilms and therefore enhance the antibiotic response. Pharmaceutical compositions disclosed may include suitable vehicles which may depend on the dosage form.
