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.

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.
“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 ...
Neurological shunt infections are often caused by skin bacteria such as Cutibacterium acnes, [10] or in instances of ventriculoperitoneal shunts that perforate the gut, by anaerobes of enteric origin (i.e. Bacteroides fragilis). [11] Clostridium perfringens can cause of brain abscesses and meningitis following intracranial surgery or head trauma.
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.
