    Journal: Dermatology; 1998; 196(1):55-8. PubMed ID: 9557227.
    Abstract:
    Propionibacterium acnes is a number of the resident bacterial flora and resides in sebaceous follicles. Age-related and body-dependent quantitative differences exist, indicating the role of sebum as an important ecological factor for P. acnes. Acne patients demonstrate marked increases in this organism which generates inflammation through a variety of mechanisms.
