Abstract
Disinfecting compositions containing hypochlorous acid and acetic acid are useful for treating transient biofilms in or on tissue without harming the natural flora of the tissue. The compositions are useful for treating a variety of types of tissue. Compositions are useful for treating and preventing orally-associated biofilm. Compositions may be provided in mouthwash form, spray form, gel form, cream form, dentifrice form, and may include nanoparticle encapsulated molecules for controlled release.
Claims (3)
1 . A method for treating bacterial infection in tissue, the method comprising providing to the tissue a composition comprising acetic acid in an amount from about 0.1% to about 5.0% and hypochlorous acid in a concentration from about 10 ppm to about 2500 ppm.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the acetic acid is present in an amount of about 2%.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the tissue is skin tissue, and wherein the hypochlorous acid concentration is about 150 ppm, and wherein the acetic acid is between about 0.1% and about 1.0%.
