Blood-culture bottles (BCBs) are widely used to improve the diagnosis of orthopedic device-related infections. Data is scarce on the growth of Cutibacterium acnes and its genotypes in BCBs under real-life clinical conditions. We studied 39 cases of revision arthroplasty for which at least one ...
the direct impact ofC. acneson bone cells has never been explored. The clade of 11C. acnesclinical isolates was determined by MLST. Human osteoblasts and osteoclasts were infected by liveC. acnes. The whole genome sequence of six
Blood cultureCutibacterium is a genus often considered a contaminant when present in blood cultures, but it can also cause severe infections, especially related to implanted foreign materials. We investigated the incidence and features of patients with true Cutibacterium infection. Patients with positive ...
acnes in blood is considered as a contaminant because the presence of C. acnes was not associated with clinically-relevant conditions and, therefore, being introduced during sampling [58,59]. C. acnes is also a significant cause in postoperative central nervous system infections (PCNSIs) [60],...
