An antimicrobial hydrogel dispersion comprising:
- a first cross-linkable amphiphilic component, the first amphiphilic component, in its chemically cross-linked state, being a lyotropic liquid crystal and having an ordered nanostructure of hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains, the hydrogel comprising an antimicrobial agent covalently attached to the hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic domains,
- wherein, the first component is present in the composition in the form of particles in a dispersion.
A method of treating a wound comprising providing a proline arginine-rich end leucine-rich repeat protein, PRELP, derived antimicrobial peptide, having a length of less than 37 amino acids wherein the antimicrobial peptide causes coagulation of blood at the wound.
