Abstract
The present invention relates to a spray patch composition for the indirect real-time determination of bacterial infections on superficial wounds by means of colorimetric pH detection. In particular, said composition is a sprayable composition comprising a plant extract comprising anthocyanins, at least one film-forming polymer capable of forming a polymeric film, at least one plasticizer, at least one surfactant; and at least one solvent. The present invention also concerns a process for the production of said spray patch composition and a kit containing it.
