Draft Genome Sequences of Two Propionibacterium acnes Strains Isolated from Progressive Macular Hypomelanosis Lesions of Human Skin
نویسندگان
چکیده
Propionibacterium acnes is a Gram-positive bacterium that is prevalent on human skin. It has been associated with skin disorders such as acne vulgaris and progressive macular hypomelanosis (PMH). Here, we report draft genome sequences of two type III P. acnes strains, PMH5 and PMH7, isolated from PMH skin lesions.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Strains of Propionibacterium acnes Isolated from Radical Prostatectomy Specimens
Propionibacterium acnes is a Gram-positive bacterium that is closely associated with various parts of the human body, in particular with sebaceous follicles of the skin. It has also been frequently isolated from diseased human prostates. Here, we report draft genome sequences of two P. acnes strains, P6 and PA2, isolated from radical prostatectomy specimens.
متن کاملA quantitative analysis of Propionibacterium acnes in lesional and non-lesional skin of patients with progressive macular hypomelanosis by real-time polymerase chain reaction
Little is known about the etiology of progressive macular hypomelanosis, although it has been suggested that Propionibacterium acnes plays an important role. While microbiological culture is commonly employed to identify Propionibacterium acnes, new identification methods have been under investigation, amongst them polymerase chain reaction. To determine the cut-off point for the number of geno...
متن کاملStrains of the Propionibacterium acnes type III lineage are associated with the skin condition progressive macular hypomelanosis
Progressive macular hypomelanosis (PMH) is a common skin disorder that causes hypopigmentation in a variety of skin types. Although the underlying aetiology of this condition is unclear, there is circumstantial evidence that links the skin bacterium Propionibacterium acnes to the condition. We now describe the first detailed population genetic analysis of P. acnes isolates recovered from paired...
متن کاملPropionibacterium acnes and the pathogenesis of progressive macular hypomelanosis.
BACKGROUND Progressive macular hypomelanosis is a common hypopigmentation mainly on the central parts of the trunk, predominantly in young adults, especially women. It is often mistaken for pityriasis versicolor and pityriasis alba. It occurs in all races and has been described in many parts of the world. We discovered follicular red fluorescence restricted to lesional skin. We suspected a rela...
