Is acne just a bacteria problem? Not quite. It’s a microbial turf war—with factions, fortresses, and a secret plot twist.
I’m Steven Christian—MD/PhD student and creator of Cütie Catcherz, the comic series where microbiome science meets Saturday-morning-cartoon energy. In this episode, we break down the paper “Cutibacterium acnes and Acne Vulgaris: A Brief Look at the Latest Updates” by Dréno et al.
We explore how new science reveals acne isn't about more bacteria, but about the wrong kinds of bacteria in the wrong balance—especially the sneaky phylotype IA1. Then we flip it into fiction: how these discoveries directly inspired the world of Cütie Catcherz, from biofilm bunkers to precision skincare gadgets and strategy.
