Abstract Background The anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium Propionibacterium acnes is a
human skin commensal that resides preferentially within sebaceous follicles; however, it …

The anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium Propionibacterium acnes is a human skin
commensal that is occasionally associated with inflammatory diseases. Recent work has …

The anaerobic bacterium Propionibacterium acnes is believed to play an important role in
the pathophysiology of the common skin disease acne vulgaris. Over the last 10 years our …

Propionibacterium acnes is a skin commensal bacterium that contributes to the development
of acne vulgaris and other infections. Recent work revealed that P. acnes clinical isolates …

Propionibacterium acnes colonizes the lipid-rich sebaceous glands of the skin. This
preferential anaerobic bacterium is easily identified if cultures are prolonged. It is involved in …

The human skin microbiome has important roles in skin health and disease. However,
bacterial population structure and diversity at the strain level is poorly understood. We …

Background Propionibacteria are part of the human microbiota. Many studies have
addressed the predominant colonizer of sebaceous follicles of the skin, Propionibacterium …

Propionibacterium acnes is a Gram‐positive bacterium that colonizes various niches of the
human body, particularly the sebaceous follicles of the skin. Over the last years a role of this …

We have developed a novel multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme and database
(http://pubmlst. org/pacnes/) for Propionibacterium acnes based on the analysis of seven …

Propionibacterium acnes is the most abundant bacterium on human skin, particularly in
sebaceous areas. P. acnes is suggested to be an opportunistic pathogen involved in the …
