Dataset for "Antimicrobial Releasing Hydrogel Forming Microneedles"

It includes: - the HFMs ability to swell in fluids over time rapidly and take up drugs in solution as a result (including characterisation of the HFMs and drug loaded-HFMs); - the mechanical properties and skin penetration of both HFMs and Drug-loaded HFMs; - the drug release profiles of the drug-loaded HFMs and how to control the release; - the antimicrobial properties of the antibiotic HFMs against susceptible bacteria.

The data provides a suggestion towards the use of HFMs for the effective transdermal delivery of antibiotics, towards reducing the rate of antimicrobial resistance increase.
