Characteristics of Biofilm-Forming Ability and Antibiotic Resistance of < em > Cutibacterium acnes < /em > and < em > Staphylococcus epidermidis < /em > from Acne Vulgaris Patients

CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in resistance against seven antibiotics between the C. acnes and S. epidermidis in BF and NBF groups. Furthermore, although statistically not significant, some resistances were observed against clindamycin, erythromycin, and azithromycin. Consequently, the use of these three antibiotics should be judiciously regulated.PMID:37719934 | PMC:PMC10503511 | DOI:10.2147/CCID.S422486
