Smart hydrogel for the pH-selective drug delivery of antimicrobial compounds

Infection is a major prompt of chronic wounds, increasing the pH on the injury tissues. Thus, pH can be used as trigger for antimicrobial agents' delivery, preventing chronic wounds. Hence, the present work aimed to develop a hydrogel with drug delivery capacity, modulated by environmental pH....
