In this class, she has learned about Acne Vulgaris, which is a common skin condition in puberty where one may experience a growth spurt, changes in their voice, and acne. This is mainly visible on the face and occurs when dead skin cells, oils, or bacteria block the pores, resulting in blackheads, pimples, or bumps.

One bacteria that is known for affecting and multiplying acne is Propionibacterium acnes, or Cutibacterium acnes. Scientists have researched and experimented to understand the classification, description, and microbial labs that it is in, as well as the treatment and prevention of the bacteria.

To experiment with a new bacteria, scientists must first determine whether it is gram positive or negative, and if it lives in an aerobic or anaerobic environment. Cutibacterium acnes is a gram-positive, rod-shaped, anaerobic bacteria that lives inside the hair follicles or pores on one's face. This information aids scientists in understanding how the bacteria works and what it looks like under a microscope.

Cutibacterium acnes interacts with human skin in both positive and negative ways. The bacteria produces propionic acid to maintain the skin's acidic pH, preventing the growth of pathogens. However, if the hair follicles are plugged, the bacteria can cause acne to worsen. To treat acne caused by Cutibacterium acnes, one can visit a doctor who can diagnose the issue and recommend appropriate treatment.

It is important to note that Cutibacterium acnes is not the sole cause of acne for everyone, as it may depend on an individual's dermatophysical terrain. The different types of acne present are determined by the skin's environment and whether the bacteria is trapped or blocked in the pores. A doctor can help determine the cause and provide guidance on treatment and prevention.

In conclusion, understanding Cutibacterium acnes and its interactions with human skin is crucial in treating and preventing acne vulgaris.

Scientists are examining the impact of various bacteria on different parts of the human body, including the C. acnes bacterium, which has been discovered and is currently being researched in microbial labs. Reports have suggested that this bacterium can cause infections in cases of orthopaedic surgery, particularly when a prosthesis is involved. Evidence from various studies indicates that this bacterium is responsible for the majority of these infections. Other research shows that C. acnes is an opportunistic pathogen and can cause sarcoidosis, prostate cancer, and other microbe-related human diseases.

Acne is one of the most prevalent skin conditions that affect people worldwide. One of the major contributors to acne is a bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes or Cutibacterium acnes. This bacterium resides on the skin and helps in preventing the growth of pathogens. However, under certain favorable conditions, such as a blockage or overproduction of the bacterium, acne can occur, which can expand and sometimes rupture. The use of antibodies can treat this bacterium, while certain vitamins can help prevent it. Recent studies have demonstrated that this bacterium is also responsible for infections in some surgical cases.
