Propionibacteriaceae ⇒ Propionibacterium {10000621}

Shared Reference Notes

• [1.1] 
  - The most abundantly cultivated bacterial organisms in a normal healthy eye are coagulase-negative #Staphylococci, #Acinetobacter, #Methylobacterium, Propionibacterium, #Pseudomonas, #Streptophyta, #Sphingomonas, and #Corynebacterium species
• [1.2] 
  - babies who are delivered by #Cesarean section (C-section) are often colonized by bacteria that are more commonly found on the skin, including #Staphylococcus, Propionibacterium or #Corynebacterium
• [#Natural ear microbiota] - The microbiota of the ear canal is similar to that found on the skin. Therefore, #Corynebacterium, #Staphylococcus, and Propionibacterium genera are prevalent taxa. - middle ear is actually colonized by Proteobacteria, #Actinobacteria, and #Firmicutes
• [#Natural eye microbiota] - The microbial composition of the eyelids is dominated by two skin taxa #Staphylococcus and Propionibacterium. - The meibum is characterized by a dominance of Propionibacterium and #Pseudomonas, while the conjunctiva is defined exclusively by Propionibacterium
• [1.3] [#Natural Skin Microbiome] 
  - Members of the genus #Cutibacterium (previously known as Propionibacterium), dominate the sebaceous (oily) sites of the human skin.
• [1.4] [#Natural Skin Microbiome] 
  - The microbiome of healthy skin varies depending on age and body area, with differences in sebaceous, moist, and dry areas. - An age-related decrease in the Propionibacterium may have also contributed to the increased bacterial diversity observed in the older subjects. - a positive correlation between sebum level and the abundance of Propionibacterium in forehead skin.
