Abstract

Sprayable formulations of AgNPs were prepared by exchanging citrate capping agents with LL37-SH peptides. The AgNP@LL37 material was then combined with type I collagen to form a stable film once sprayed. The AgNP@LL37 spray prevented Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) proliferation and eradicated a P. aeruginosa biofilm, while being non-toxic for human skin fibroblasts embedded within 3D artificial skin constructs. Finally, no silver infiltration was observed after spraying on a full-thickness skin wound in a mouse model.
