Abstract
An anti-microbial composition, comprising a chelator (such as EDTA and its salts), and a transport enhancer (such as Methyl Sufonyl Methane; MSM) is provided. Together, the combination of the two substances unexpectedly and beneficially inhibits bacterial or fungal biofilms when administered to an area of microbial infection. Preferred formulations include spray, lotion, solution, gel, cream, ointment, soap, deodorant, surgical rinse, or dental rinse.
