Production and characterization of a phage endolysin with putative antimicrobial activity against Cutibacterium acnes
<p>Acne vulgaris (acne) is the eighth most common skin disorder worldwide. Because of the heterogeneous pathology of acne and the increasing antibiotic resistance of the causal agent (Cutibacterium acnes), novel therapeutics need to be developed to treat acne. One option is endolysins, highly …

A retrospective analysis of the prescribing patterns of isotretinoin
Acne is a very common disease affecting approximately 85% of people in some stage of their life (Wolff et al., 2005:2). The systemic drug isotretinoin is the only acne drug which has an influence on all the pathophysiological factors of this highly prevalent disease and is considered as the most …

Semiquantitative und quantitative Charakterisierung der Zytokinantwort humaner Keratinozyten nach Stimulation mit Propionibacterium acnes und Koproporphyrin III
Background The inflammation in acne vulgaris is widely thought to be induced by an immunological reaction to Propionibacterium acnes. Objectives In the present study we examined the local host response mechanism of keratinocytes 3 and 6 h after stimulation with viable and heat- killed P. acnes. …

Characterisation of propionibacterium acnes
Propionibacterium acnes forms part of the normal flora of the skin, oral cavity, large intestine and the external ear. Historically, P. acnes is considered to be of low virulence; however, in recent years it has been found as the aetiological agent in various pathologies including acne vulgaris, …

Topical pharmacokinetics for a rational and effective topical drug development process
… D3 derivatives, antifungals, antibacterials for acne and immunomodulators. For seven out of the eight classes, the validation of the model is good. For the last class, the antibacterials for acne, the model underpredicts efficacy and it is suggested that the route of entry of antibacterial agents …

A novel two-component signal transduction system in propionibacterium acnes and its association with a putative extracellular signalling peptide
Propionibacterium acnes, a resident micro-organism of human skin, is thought to be involved in the development of inflammatory acne, which is an exclusive human disease affecting more than 80% of the whole population. Quorum sensing is the regulation of gene expression in response to cell density. …

Role of the Hu family of RNA-binding proteins in regulating acetylcholinesterase expression in excitatory cells
… SCG prior to axotomy prevented the decrease in ACNE mRNA. Accordingly, during the course of these studies we have identified an ARE in the AChE 3'-UTR and its binding partners HuD and HuR, as essential mediators of post-transcriptional mechanisms regulating AChE expression in neurons and muscle, …

Propionibacterium acnes and its phages
… different microorganisms, with Propionibacterium acnes being one of the most common bacteria. This Gram-positive anaerobe has long been attributed as the cause of acne vulgaris, and is known to cause severe inflammations on orthopedic implants.
