Metal–Organic Framework‐Based Antimicrobial Touch Surfaces to Prevent Cross‐Contamination
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A MOF‐based antimicrobial door handle cover is developed. It completely inhibits the cross‐contamination of Gram‐positive bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis), Gram‐negative bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii), and fungi (Candida albicans). Abstract Infection diseases

Mechano‐Bactericidal Surfaces Achieved by Epitaxial Growth of Metal–Organic Frameworks
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Mechano‐bactericidal surfaces based on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are designed using a MOF‐on‐MOF strategy. Two methods of MOF surface assembly, in situ growth and ex situ dropcasting, are applied. Distinct mechano‐bactericidal actions are discussed, including stretching, impaling, and mechanical injury. Abstract Mechano‐bactericidal (MB) surfaces
