[edit]I might be wrong, but aren't Corynebacterium acnes and propionibacterium acnes the same thing? We currently have two pages for this, and the nomenclature is confused.WolfKeeper 08:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- This is what is listed at NCBI taxonomy
- Lineage (full): root; cellular organisms; Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Actinobacteria (class); Actinobacteridae; Actinomycetales; Corynebacterineae; Corynebacteriaceae
- Lineage (full): root; cellular organisms; Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Actinobacteria (class); Actinobacteridae; Actinomycetales; Propionibacterineae; Propionibacteriaceae; Propionibacterium
- looks like they are different. 136.165.191.251 (talk) 21:34, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Could someone maybe give a source to what's written in "Photosensitivity"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.176.214.80 (talk) 23:50, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
Possible link to back pain
[edit]Propionibacterium acnes has been linked to backpain in british and danish studies[1][2]. Someone qualified should add this to the page please.

No longer part of genus Propionibacterium
[edit]The article is incorrect. Propionibacterium is outdated nomenclature, the correct is Cutibacterium.

Salicylic acid described as antimicrobial chemical ?
[edit]In the paragraph Antimicrobial susceptibility -> Antibiotic resistance, is the following sentence "However, C. acnes bacteria are susceptible to many types of antimicrobial chemicals found in over-the-counter antibacterial products, including benzoyl peroxide, triclosan, chloroxylenol, salicylic acid and chlorhexidine gluconate."
As far as I know, salicylic acid cannot be described as an antimicrobial chemical.
I suggest it gets removed from this paragraph, or if it has been proved / is known that salicylic acid solutions somehow kills Cutibacterium acnes that it gets rephrased. Tsapi (talk) 11:01, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- I have removed it but I have left the later section describing salicylic acid as a treatment for acne. Graham Beards (talk) 12:09, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
