This image represents the impediment of bacterial attachment onto the materials described by Melissa M. Reynolds and co‐workers in article number 1702255 . While a chitosan material on its own allows attachment of bacteria strains like Pseudomonas aeruginosa , embedding the chitosan matrix with copper‐based, metal–organic framework crystals inhibits biofilm formation up to 85%.
