It has been proposed that the hypopigmentation is caused by decreased melanin production and altered melanosome dispersal in reaction to
Propionibacterium acnes.
There was only one report of the cilia embedded in the lens which was complicated by a
propionibacterium acnes lens abscess.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR It might not taste great but studies have found that this type of vinegar - which contains acetic, citric, lactic and succinic acid - can kill the spot-causing bacteria known as
propionibacterium acnes.
The pathogenesis is complex and multifactorial which includes abnormal sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, bacterial proliferation and inflammation.2-4 The treatment goals are directed to reduce activity of the sebaceous glands, normalize follicular proliferation, reduce bacterial colonization and control inflammation.5,6 Owing to the use of topical and systemic antibiotics for acne vulgaris, the incidence of antibiotic-resistant
Propionibacterium acnes is increasing worldwide.
(1,3) It reduces sebaceous gland size, sebum secretion, comedone formation, and follicular colonization of
Propionibacterium acnes. (6) However, the reported serious systemic side effects from isotretinoin usage such as liver damage, depression, behavioral change, suicidality, and teratogenicity have created an obstacle to its use as it has been recommended by many clinicians to restrict such treatment for those with severe recalcitrant acne.
They found that Christie-Atkins-Munch-Peterson (CAMP) factor -- a toxin secreted from the
Propionibacterium acnes (P.
"The pathogenesis of acne is traditionally attributed to four pathogenic factors: hyperkeratinization, excess sebum production, colonization by
Propionibacterium acnes, and inflammation.
Benzoyl peroxide has a bactericidal action against
Propionibacterium acnes and an anti-inflammatory action, and it produces few resistant bacteria.

Propionibacterium acnes, a member of normal flora of the skin and gastrointestinal tract, is occasionally identified from osteoarticular biopsy samples.
