  • Would any other experiments or additional information improve the paper? How much better would the paper be if this extra work was done, and how difficult would such work be to do, or to provide?

    No


  • Is this paper outstanding in its discipline? (For example, would you like to see this work presented in a seminar at your hospital or university? Do you feel these results need to be incorporated in your next general lecture on the subject?) If yes, what makes it outstanding? If not, why not?

  • Other Comments:

    There are a few different types of acne. Tetracycline can be used to treat acne problems. Tetracycline is also used against other bacterial infections.  The number of bacteria in and around the follicle can be decreased by using the antiobiotic.
