Phage-mediated lysis does not determine <i>Cutibacterium acnes</i> colonization on human skin

2025-09-15

Abstract excerpt

Despite Cutibacterium acnes being the most abundant and prevalent bacteria on human skin, only a single type of phage has been identified that infects this host. Here, we leverage this one-to-one system to systematically characterize how the phage-bacteria arms race shapes C. acnes evolution and community composition on individual people. Our analysis reveals a surprising lack of phage-mediated selection despite...
