Topical phage administration through hydrogels is one of the most efficient ways to inhibit bacterial growth in soft tissues. Hydrogels can benefit the skin by acting as a barrier and also promote tissue regeneration and moisture retention in cases of skin breach. Hydrogels incorporated with bioactive ingredients (BAC) have found their way into skin applications ranging from pharmaceutical to cosmetic products, whereas, phage incorporated hydrogels have been under-explored. In this study, we developed gelatin (protein-based) and alginate (polysaccharide-based) hydrogels (GH & AH) to immobilize phages for topical antibacterial treatments. P. aeruginosa is a common wound infecting pathogen and the strain ATCC 15442 used in this study is a β-lactamase producing multi-drug resistant variant. Gelatin and alginate are natural polymers and were chemically crosslinked (covalent & ionic interactions) to develop matrices that embed phages. Aloe vera extracts were used to synthesize hydrogels to succor the healing process. Starch-incorporated gelatin and alginate gels were also screened for phage immobilization. The addition of starch adversely affected the porosity of the matrices but did not affect the swelling ratio of the hydrogels. SEM analysis revealed porous microstructure of gelatin and alginate hydrogel, where starch addition resulted in cracked surface topography. All the developed hydrogels were amorphous in nature, lacking a regular pattern in the structural orientation of the molecules. Phages were successfully administered into the matrix after hydrogel synthesis through absorption. The swelling ratio of gelatin and alginate hydrogels were 2.6 and 0.5 g/g at 30 min. Phages released in buffer at 30 min were 1.6 x 107 and 2.6 x 106 PFU/mL for gelatin and alginate hydrogels respectively. The antibacterial evaluation of phage-incorporated gels showed a zone of inhibition against phage specific P. aeruginosa in agar plates.
