Abstract
Front Cover: The work described in article 2300236 by Antonella Bandiera and co-workers aims to develop antimicrobial coatings that reduce the likelihood of bacterial resistance. They report the production of a model human elastin-like polypeptide fusion with indolicidin showing good antimicrobial capacity. Coatings based on the elastin-like carrier alone (left) allow bacterial growth, whereas cell disruption occurs on surfaces coated with the fusion biopolymer (right).
