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...
