Accutane and Bacteria. Can You Explain if the Bacteria is Killed?

WorriedMom4Ever
Can someone please explain if accutane only kills bacteria in the skin to fight acne or if it kills all bacteria in the body. I am confused as to how it works and can be so effective in halting acne where antibiotics fail. Thank you
