Antimicrobial susceptibilities of Propionibacterium acnes isolated from patients with acne vulgaris. Microbiol Immunol. 2008 Dec;52(12):621-4 Authors: Ishida N, Nakaminami H, Noguchi N, Kurokawa I, Nishijima S, Sasatsu M Antibiotic susceptibilities of Propionibacterium acnes in Japan were determined. Erythromycin-resistance was found in 10.4% (5/48) of the strains, and four of these were cross-resistance to clindamycin. Although the erythromycin ribosome methylase gene erm(X) was looked for, no strain carrying erm(X) was found. Sequencing analysis revealed that all of the erythromycin-resistant strains had a mutation in the peptidyl transferase region of the 23S rRNA gene: G2057A, A2058G, or A2059G. Consequently, our results show that P. acnes resistance to macrolides is caused...Tags: acne treatment, acne treatments, acne cure, get rid of acne, best acne treatment, acne free, acne skin care, acne solution, acne products, acne control
