The power of two! A natural product hybrid (see structure) composed of a siderophore and an antibiotic separated by a poly(ethylene glycol) linker enables the preparation of antimicrobial and cell‐resistant surfaces by a simple dip‐and‐rinse procedure. The anachelin siderophore (left) binds strongly to TiO 2 surfaces, and vancomycin is responsible for antibiotic activity.
