Front Cover: Three‐dimensional micrometer periodic structures generated by direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) on polystyrene surfaces have a profound effect on S. aureus adhesion. As demonstrated by J. Valle, I. Lasa, and co‐workers on page 1060 pillar‐like topographical patterns enhance S. aureus adhesion, whereas complex lamella microtopography reduces S. aureus adhesion both in static and continuous flow culture conditions and in a model of biofilm formation in vivo.
