Low prevalence of Cutibacterium acnes in prostatic tissue biopsies in a French hospital

We evaluated the Cutibacterium acnes prevalence in prostatic biopsies and characterized the strains at a molecular level. 18 out of 36 biopsies (50%) were sterile after seven days in culture. C. acnes was observed in only two biopsies. Its prevalence was low (5.6%). Finally, the molecular characteri...

Description
Summary:We evaluated the Cutibacterium acnes prevalence in prostatic biopsies and characterized the strains at a molecular level. 18 out of 36 biopsies (50%) were sterile after seven days in culture. C. acnes was observed in only two biopsies. Its prevalence was low (5.6%). Finally, the molecular characterization revealed diverse clusters including phylotypes IA1, IB and II. •C. acnes can be found in prostatic tissue.•A low prevalence has been found in France compared to other countries.•No specific cluster is dedicated to prostatic tissue.•C. avidum can also be detected.•Other bacteria such as Bifidobacterium sp. Or Mobiluncus curtisii were also recovered from prostatic tissue.
