Increased Prevalence of Minocycline-Resistant with (M) by Tetracycline Use for Acne Treatment.

, a major skin bacterium, can cause opportunistic infections. Use of antimicrobial agents against for acne treatment becomes a risk factor for emergence of antimicrobial-resistant skin bacteria. In this study, the impact of antimicrobial treatment of acne vulgaris on antimicrobial resistance was assessed.

Characterization of acne patients carrying clindamycin-resistant Cutibacterium acnes: A Japanese multicenter study.

Use of antimicrobials for acne treatment is correlated with an increased occurrence of antimicrobial-resistant Cutibacterium acnes. To clarify the role of antimicrobial use on the resistance and to investigate the characteristics of resistant strains, we conducted a multicenter study in dermatological clinics frequently visited by new patients with acne vulgaris. We collected specimens in 264 acne patients and tested 164 C.
