Back Cover : Acne caused by Propionibacterium acnes is treated with antibiotics but effectiveness is often compromised by resistance and development of “superbugs”. An alternative antimicrobial polycation without resistance buildup is described. The results point to a promising pathway for polycation antimicrobial polypeptide (AMP) mimics against P. acnes. This is reported by Sithara S. Nair, Olga Y. Zolotarskaya, Matthew J. Beckwith, Dennis E. Ohman and Kenneth J. Wynne, article number 1700090 .
