Antimicrobial susceptibility and phylogenetic analysis ofPropionibacterium acnesisolated from acne patients in Japan between 2013 and 2015
17 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant Propionibacterium acnes strains isolated from acne patients has been increasing in Japan. Here, to estimate the current resistance rate, we tested antimicrobial susceptibility among P. acnes from acne patients having visited a specialized dermatology clinic between 2013 and 2015. Rates of resistance to macrolides and clindamycin were 44.3 (31/70) and 38.6% (27/70),...
