It's easy to see acne sufferers from afar,but it's not so easy to see the bacteria that trigger their skin inflammation.Now researchers hope to clear out those bacteria and clear up the acne with viruses.The work is in the journal mBio.Many thriving microbe communities inhabit the human face.There is for example the pimple-producing species Propionibacterium acnes.Some antibiotic acne treatments have been used so widely that this bacteria have developed resistance.Other treatments cause unpleasant side effects.But there are viruses that targeted the bacteria called ,called phages.Researchers isolated 11 phages from people with and without acne and sequenced the viral genomes.Phages are generally a diverse bunch,but these viruses were close relatives to each other,which make sense,as they all evolve to attack bacteria that live in the a specific environment-facial hair follicles.When pitted against the facial bacteria in the lab the viruses easily mopped up their acne-causing foes.Which may make the phages good candidates for acne treatment-a treatment that might truly go viral.
