Cutibacterium (formerly Propionibacterium) acnes is an important for not only exacerbating factor of acne vulgaris but also pathogen of surgical site infections (SSIs) in orthopedics and plastic surgery. Although biofilm-forming (BF) C. acnes are associated with intractable SSI, characteristics of these strains were still unknown. Here, we explored detailed molecular epidemiological features of BF C. acnes isolated as causative pathogen of infectious diseases. Phylogenetic types of 205 C. acnes strains isolated between 2013 and 2018 from 18 clinical departments of a university hospital in Japan were determined by single-locus sequence type (SLST). Clade H (traditional type IC) and K (type II) which are less relevant with healthy skin and acne vulgaris, were detected in 26.8% (55/205) and 16.1% (33/205) of the strains, respectively. The incidence of them was significantly higher than that of acne patients (H and K, each 2.9%, P |
