Cutibacterium acnes bacteria predominantly live deep within follicles and pores, although they are also found on the surface of healthy skin. [3] In these follicles, C. acnes bacteria use sebum, cellular debris and metabolic byproducts from the surrounding skin tissue as their primary sources of energy and nutrients.

“In general, we think of acne as being caused by excess oil and dead skin cells that clog the pores, acne-causing bacteria known as Cutibacterium acnes, and inflammation.” A sign that you are ...
[9] [2] Cutibacterium acnes is the suspected infectious agent in acne. [3] It can proliferate in sebum and cause inflamed pustules (pimples) characteristic of acne. [3] Nodules are inflamed, painful, deep bumps under the skin. [3] Comedones that are 1 mm or larger are called macrocomedones. [10]
Cutibacterium acnes (previously called Propionibacterium acnes) E. Ehrlichia chaffeensis; Ehrlichia ewingii; Eikenella corrodens; Enterobacter cloacae; Enterococcus.
The most studied of these infections is acne vulgaris, caused by Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes). [9] It is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the blockage of pilosebaceous units causing inflammatory lesions, non-inflammatory lesions or a mixture of both on the face, neck and/or chest.
The relative population of P. acnes is similar between those with acne and those without. [39] [40] Current treatment includes topical and systemic antibacterial drugs which result in decreased P. acnes colonisation and/or activity. [41] Potential probiotic treatment includes the use of Staphylococcus epidermidis to inhibit P. acnes growth.
