Extracellular vesicles from Cutibacterium acnes phylotypes IA1, IB, II and III, which contain glucoglycerolipids, are not cytotoxic but induce a strong pro-inflammatory response in human prostate epithelial and fibroblast cells
Cutibacterium acnes represents one of the predominant bacterial taxa colonizing human skin. Its impact on host physiology is strongly phylotype-dependent: certain phylotypes are associated with the initiation and progression of acnes lesions, whereas others contribute to the stability and homeostasis of the cutane...
