“…However, recent findings have shown that P. acnes normally resides in peripheral lung tissue and mediastinal lymph nodes and their presence therefore is not specific to sarcoidosis (Ishige et al 2005). Recovery of P. acnes from microdiscectomy material removed for the treatment of sciatica has suggested an association between the organism and sciatica (Stirling et al 2001;Vautrin et al 2004). However, other workers have failed to culture P. acnes from microdiscectomy material and suggest that such organisms are derived from the skin as contaminants during the surgical procedure .…”

Propionibacterium acnes, a common skin organism, is most notably recognized for its role in acne vulgaris. It also causes postoperative and device‐related infections and has been associated with a number of other conditions such as sarcoidosis and synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis (SAPHO), although its precise role as a causative agent remains to be determined. Propionibacterium acnes produces a number of virulence factors and is well known for its inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Recent publication of the P. acnes genome should provide further insights into the pathogenic capabilities of the organism and potentially lead to the development of new therapies.
