Detects bacteria that cause infections

A recent study shows that Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is already in the human body that can cause infections.

The finding goes against previous studies that P. acnes appears in areas where infection is caused by dirty skin. For example, infection in one place inside the body after surgery may be due to bacteria moving from the damaged skin during surgery.

People who are misdiagnosed may continue to develop complicated complications in case of infection if this misdiagnosed bacterium is the destination of therapy. Therefore, it is important that people do not ignore the infection because P. acnes and the community also need to be aware of this type of bacteria.

Professor Peter Lambert, an P. acnes infection expert from Aston University, said: ' It is important that we have found that this bacterium is able to grow slowly inside human body cells as well. like the surface of human skin like fish eggs. It has long been associated with normal acne, which stimulates inflammation and pain " .

Recent studies have also shown that this type of bacteria may also be associated with other diseases such as prostate cancer.
