  Many studies concerned the propionic bacteria of human skin report just about Propionibacterium acnes, whereas it is well known that the species diversity include at least three species - P. acnes, P. granulosum and P. avidum. Recently we have used real time PCR method, which allow detecting simultaneously the three species in skin washings of healthy people. At the first step of the study we tried to isolate pure culture of P. acnes. From 7 swabs from healthy skin propionic bacteria one was selected for cultivation, because it contained according to real time PCR only cells of P. acnes. During the cultivation of this isolate in liquid medium probes were collected and again analyzed by real time PCR. All three species of propionic bacteria were detected in each phase of cultivation. In our opinion this fact may be a reason to check the collection strains named P. acnes towar.. View More»
