Abstract: The present invention is directed to an enhanced wound healing composition, including a gel containing vancomycin, useful for the prevention of the spread of resistant-type bacteria. Preferably, the drug is one or more antibiotic agents in therapeutically effective concentrations to reduce or eliminate MRSA. The composition is based on a gel composition containing one or more gel forming compounds, such as one or more polymers, preservatives, and/or pH stabilizers and buffers, which not only maintains a moist wound environment to enhance wound healing, but also provides an antibiotic agent which has sustained potency and stability. The composition, when placed in contact with a treatment site, delivers the drug to the site. By incorporating the drug into the gel composition that is formulated to enhance wound healing, the treatment of such disease is possible in a manner which promotes wound healing while reducing or eliminating the MRSA microbe.

Abstract: I have combined Vancomycin at varying concentrations in a Calcium Alginate gel and treated open chronic wounds that cultured out MRSA. The response has been remarkable in the rapid cure of the involved wound. I have arrived at a 15% level of the Vancomycin as being an effective strength. The combined gel, if refrigerated, maintains it's effectiveness over three months. Only one to two applications results in negative cultures.
