In article number 1800101 , Robin Patel, Haluk Beyenal, and co‐workers report the application of a novel electrochemical scaffold (e‐scaffold) as a strategy for treating methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms. The e‐scaffold, which continuously produces low concentrations of H 2 O 2 , eradicates biofilms grown in vitro. Their study also explores potential mechanisms of action of the e‐scaffold against MRSA biofilms.
