New Study Indicates Acne Bacteria Spread from Humans to Grapevines

This is acne article is not an April Fool's joke, but it sure seems like it could be! Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction!




If you have acne, drink the occasional glass of wine, are a fan of musician Frank Zappa, or just like weird science, here's some news you will find intriguing: Italian researchers have discovered a new bacteria that colonized pimples and now colonizes grapevines. They named it after Frank Zappa. -- Examiner
The microbe, P. Zappae, was discovered at different sites in Northern Italy. When the transformation history was studied using marker genes, it was discovered the pathogen originated in humans and then spread to the grapevines--the first time a human bacteria is known to have spread to plants.

This could be big news for acne sufferers, because as researchers study the pathogen in grape vines, they might hit upon a cure for the human bacteria. This is the way many other cures and treatments have been found in the past.

Today there are numerous treatments for blemishes, pimples and zits--some effective and some not so much--but there is currently not a cure for acne.

While we wait for an acne cure, the new bacteria study is certainly interesting news for wine drinkers, music buffs, science geeks, and those who suffer from acne breakouts. Read the article to find out why they named it after Frank Zappa!
