Propionibacterineae ⇒ Propionibacteriaceae {10000970} Record Keys Parent:Propionibacterineae Definition:Propionibacteriaceae Details Initialisation date:[ ] Meta Information Rank: Family Domain: Bacteria Zone:[ ] Enzyme:[ ] Function:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] [#Reactive Oxygen Species] - Propionibacteriaceae are Gram-positive, anaerobic rods associated with human infections, including corneal infections, and are often found in #Acne vulgaris patients. - Intradermal infections of Propionibacteriaceae generate ROS and #Nitric Oxide and induce the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Since an imbalance of these ROS and antioxidative tear proteins favors the development of tear film instability [#Dry eye syndrom] - family Propionibacteriaceae and the species #Corynebacterium tuberculostearicum were more abundant in DED patients compared to controls. - Both #Corynebacterium tuberculostearicum and bacteria of the family Propionibacteriaceae are involved in inflammatory processes through the upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines that may be associated with DED.References Notes[ ]
