Abstract:
Compositions are provided that have at least two of three active ingredients. The active ingredients maybe a salt having a cation N α C8-C16 alkanoyl-L di-basic amino acid —C1-C4 alkyl ester, a glycerol monoester of a fatty acid and a sugar ester of a fatty acid. The compositions are useful in methods of killing or inhibiting planktonic bacteria or fungi and bacteria or fungi embedded in a biofilm and prevention of biofilm formation on surfaces. The composition may further comprise a hydrogel and a benefit agent such as an antibiotic that can be solubilized by the hydrogel and supplied to the biofilm matrix by the active ingredients of the composition. Devices such as chronic wound coverings coated with the composition are also provided. Methods of preserving products with the composition are also provided.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , further characterized by:\n the a) N \u03b1 C8-C16 alkanoyl-L di-basic amino acid \u2014C1-C4 alkyl ester being N \u03b1 -lauroyl-L-arginine-ethyl ester; or the b) glycerol monoester a fatty acid being monolaurin; or the c) sugar ester of a fatty acid being sucrose laurate; or the d) solvent being at least one of: water, 1,2-propylene glycol or 1,3-propylene glycol, 1,2-pentanediol, sorbitol, glycerol, xylitol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, butylene glycol, pentylene glycol, hexylene glycol; or the e) thickener or carrier or gelling agent being at least one of: a polymer, a hydrocolloid, an acrylate, an acrylamide, a carboxylated cellulose, lecithin, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), polymeric ethers, polymeric aliphatic alcohols, polyalkoxylated alcohols, naturally occurring high molecular weight substances such as sodium alginate, gums, xanthan gum, gum tragacanth, starch, collagen aluminum silicate, quince seed extract, semi-synthetic high molecular substances such as methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC), soluble starch and cationized cellulose, synthetic high molecular substances such as carboxyvinyl polymer and polyvinyl alcohol, arabic gum, carbomer, polyethylene oxide, poloxamer; or the f) sacrificial agent being at least one of: trimethyl citrate, trimethyl citrate, or zinc glycinate; or the g) hydrogel being at least one of: polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethyleneimine, polyacrylic acid, polyhydroxyethyl-methacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol-glycine co-polymer, or polyvinyl alcohol-lysine co-polymer.
