In article number 2000511, Zhengbao Zha, Tao He, and co‐workers design uniform pH‐responsive Ag nanoparticle clusters, triggered by the acidic micro‐environment of bacterial infections, that could collapse and re‐assemble into nonuniform Ag NPs assemblies, which result in improved antibacterial activities against methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
