Abstract
Cutibacterium acnes was reported as one of the most frequently isolated opportunistic pathogens among the skin microbiota. Here, we report two complete genome sequences of Cutibacterium acnes strains that were isolated from surgical (strain SZ1) and nonsurgical (strain SZ2) sites on the back of an orthopedic surgery patient.
Highlights
Cutibacterium acnes was reported as one of the most frequently isolated opportunistic pathogens among the skin microbiota
For analysis of the lineage type of the two C. acnes strains, nine housekeeping genes were checked on the Cutibacterium acnes multilocus sequence typing (MLST) website (10). Both isolates had the allelic profile of 1-1-1-1-3-1-1-1-1 and were classified as type IA1 based on the MLST scheme (11)
McDowell et al reported that the type IA1 group consisted of 85% antibiotic-resistant isolates in their analysis (11)
Summary
Cutibacterium acnes was reported as one of the most frequently isolated opportunistic pathogens among the skin microbiota. For analysis of the lineage type of the two C. acnes strains, nine housekeeping genes (aroE, atpD, camp[2], gmk, guaA, lepA, recA, sodA, and tly) were checked on the Cutibacterium acnes multilocus sequence typing (MLST) website (https://pubmlst.org/cacnes/) (10).
