Poly(ethylene glycol)‐based polymers are used as carbon sources to re‐program the skin microbiome via specifically induction of fermentation of skin commensal Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria. The production of short‐chain fatty acids by this fermentation diminishes the colonization of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The cover is prepared by Ming‐Shan Kao, Stephen Huang, Wei‐Lin Chang, Ming‐Fa Hsieh, Chun‐Jen Huang, Richard L. Gallo and Chun‐Ming Huang authors of the article ”Microbiome precision editing: Using PEG as a selective fermentation initiator against methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus“ ( https://doi.org/10.1002/biot.201600399 ).
