Abstract:
Cutibacterium acnes is a highly prevalent and abundant skin bacterium that lives deep in the hair follicle, a unique site for host access. Thus, it is a prime target to engineer. This study introduces a genetic toolbox for C. acnes, which will enable basic science and therapeutic bioengineering.
