“…Nosocomial infections by the bacteria have become more prevalent in recent years, as methicillin‐resistant strains of S. aureus (MRSA) have evolved in hospitals across the world. Imprinted polyacrylamide gel beads were prepared by inverse suspension polymerization, [98] with protein A as the template and acrylamide and BIS as monomers in water/toluene/ethyl cellulose medium. The binding of MIP for protein A was specific, as negligible binding was observed with the NIP.…”

Infections caused by antibiotic‐resistant bacteria are difficult and sometimes impossible to treat, making them one of the major public health problems of our time. We highlight how one unique material, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), can orchestrate several strategies to fight this serious societal issue. MIPs are tailor‐made biomimetic supramolecular receptors that recognize and bind target molecules with high affinity and selectivity, comparable to those of antibodies. While research on MIPs for combatting cancer has flourished, comprehensive work on their involvement in combatting resistant superbugs has been rather scarce. This review aims at filling this gap. We will describe the causes of bacterial resistance and at which level MIPs can deploy their weapons. MIPs’ targets can be biofilm constituents, quorum sensing messengers, bacterial surface proteins and antibiotic‐deactivating enzymes, among others. We will conclude with the current challenges and future developments in this field.

Shape-preserving conversion reactions have the potential to unlock new routes for self-organization of complex threedimensional (3D) nanomaterials with advanced functionalities. Specifically, developing such conversion routes toward shapecontrolled metal selenides is of interest due to their photocatalytic properties and because these metal selenides can undergo further conversion reactions toward a wide range of other functional chemical compositions. Here, we present a strategy toward metal selenides with controllable 3D architectures using a two-step self-organization/ conversion approach. First, we steer the coprecipitation of barium carbonate nanocrystals and silica into nanocomposites with controllable 3D shapes. Second, using a sequential exchange of cations and anions, we completely convert the chemical composition of the nanocrystals into cadmium selenide (CdSe) while preserving the initial shape of the nanocomposites. These architected CdSe structures can undergo further conversion reactions toward other metal selenides, which we demonstrate by developing a shapepreserving cation exchange toward silver selenide. Moreover, our conversion strategy can readily be extended to convert calcium carbonate biominerals into metal selenide semiconductors. Hence, the here-presented self-assembly/conversion strategy opens exciting possibilities toward customizable metal selenides with complex user-defined 3D shapes.
