Cutibacterium acnes (Propionibacterium acnes) 16S rRNA Genotyping of Microbial Samples from Possessions Contributes to Owner Identification
25 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
Cutibacterium acnes is the most common and abundant bacterial species on human skin, and the gene that encodes its 16S rRNA has multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms. In this study, we developed a method to efficiently determine the C. acnes 16S rRNA genotype composition from microbial samples taken from the hands of participants and from their possessions. Using the C. acnes 16S rRNA genotype composition, we...
