Abstract
An encapsulated bacteriophage formulation and a method for encapsulating bacteriophages and bacteriophage-related products in polymeric microcapsules is provided. Some embodiments of the method of producing the encapsulated bacteriophages involves a water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion.
Claims26
A composition comprising:
- polymer microcapsules;
- and
- active bacteriophages encapsulated in the polymer microcapsules;
- wherein the polymer microcapsules include an amino-acid based polymer and the active bacteriophages are dispersed in the polymer microcapsules;
- wherein the amino-acid based polymer includes a polymer matrix defining a hollow structure in which a first aqueous suspension is encapsulated in at least some of the polymer microcapsules, at least some of the active bacteriophages being suspended in the first aqueous suspension outside of the polymer matrix.
