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 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.
Propionibacterium acnes type zappae is a gram-positive, anaerobic, and endophytic bacterium species of Propionibacterium. In 2014, it was found in an interkingdom bacterial transfer with grapevines ( Vitis vinifera ), which is unexpected because P. acne is found on human skin. [ 1 ]
Electron micrographs of siphovirus from Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes). Phages were negatively stained and subjected to transmission electron microscopy. The phages have a head of approximately 55 nm in diameter, loaded with genetic material. Their tails have a size of 150 × 10 nm and are flexible and non-contractile.

The relative population of C. acnes is similar between those with acne and those without. [39] [40] Current treatment includes topical and systemic antibacterial drugs which result in decreased C. acnes colonisation and/or activity. [41] Potential probiotic treatment includes the use of Staphylococcus epidermidis to inhibit C. acnes growth.

The ovarian follicle microbiome has been studied using standard culturing techniques. It has been associated with the outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies and birth outcomes. Positive outcomes are related to the presence of Lactobacillus spp while the presence of Propionibacterium and Actinomyces were related to negative outcomes. The ...
