Population genetic analysis of Propionibacterium acnes identifies a subpopulation and epidemic clones associated with acne.

PloS one - 19 Aug 2010

Lomholt Hans B, Kilian Mogens

Abstract excerpt

The involvement of Propionibacterium acnes in the pathogenesis of acne is controversial, mainly owing to its dominance as an inhabitant of healthy skin. This study tested the hypothesis that specific evolutionary lineages of the species are associated with acne while others are compatible with health. Phylogenetic reconstruction based on nine housekeeping genes was performed on 210 isolates of P. acnes from...
