“…Puhvel (15) found no acidification of litmus milk, which also conflicts with the results of other authors (5,8,14,16) or our data. Puhvel (15) furthermore stated that the ATCC strains 6921, 6922, and 11827 do not reduce nitrate.…”

“…acnes strains, and vice versa, were confirmed both by Voss (19) and by us. Other serological tests (3,8,9,11,15), as well as exhaustive analysis of the fatty acids produced by P. acnes (13,14,16,19), brought only negative evidence. In 1968, Zierdt et al (21) tested their phage 174 on 167 P. acnes strains: 20 of these strains were phage-resistant, and among these at least 9 strains showed still further deviation from the normal spectrum of characteristics.…”

Seventy-two Propionibacterium acnes strains, among which were five from the American Type Culture Collection, five from the Center for Disease Control, and four of group II of Voss, were thoroughly examined both biochemically and serologically. On the basis of the fermentation of inositol, maltose, mannitol, and sorbitol, eight biotypes were distinguished. By means of tube agglutination tests with the five absorbed antisera, 95, C51, D34, S140, and Beck, 11 serotypes were defined. The biotypes and serotypes showed no striking relationship to each other. Combined biotyping and serotyping is suggested for subdivision of the P. acnes species.

“…The characterization of S. epidermidis has been confirmed (16), but that of C. acnes is described very differently in the literature (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). In the 7th edition of Bergey's Manual (15), the anaerobic Corynebacteria were classified into five species: C. acnes, C. parvum, C. granulosum, C. avidum and C. diphtheroides.…”

“…Furthermore, several studies have demonstrated that C. acnes is lipolytic (2,3) and this is thought to be the most important pathogenic factor in acne vulgaris, an inflammatory process involving the pilosebaceous units of human skin (4,5). The characters of C. acnes are described very differently III the literature (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Certain characters of C. acnes are particularly controversial.…”

Forty-nine strains of anaerobic gram-positive rods were used in a systematic study of their biochemical and physiological reactions and morphological characteristics and were also subjected to gas chromatographic analyses in an effort to classify them as strains of Corynebacterium acnes (C. acnes). The strains were isolated both from lesions in acne vulgaris and from normal skin. According to their biochemical and physiological characters, these 49 strains were divided into six subgroups (Subgroup A-F). They were also separated into two morphological types. The larger of these two types included gram-positive, unevently staining pleomorphic rods (35 strains); the smaller type contained shorter coccal rods similar to Peptostreptococci (14 strains). The macroscopic appearance of the colonies of both types was the same. All strains of the smaller type showed the same biochemical and physiological characteristics which were of the saccharolytic type (Subgroup B) suggesting a close relationship between the microscopic appearance of the strains and their biochemical and physiological characteristics. Upon microscopical observation, the changing the pH of the media did not cause any transformation of the organism from one type to another. Between pH 6.0 and 6.5 all strains grew well but above pH 8.0 growth was poor. The gas chromatographic analyses demonstrated that selected sample strains from each of the six subgroups showed the same characteristic chromatograph, suggesting that they could be of the same species, i.e., C. acnes.

Die pathologische Verwandtschafl der Rinder-Aktinomykose mit der humanen, die Ahnlichkeit der Drusenbildung und Kulturvergleiche stutzten lange Jahre die Auffassung von der Identitat der Erreger beider Erkrankungen (19,26,37,38,70,98,116,120,133).

Zusammenfassung Anhand von 6 Fällen humaner Aktinomykose der Haut wird die Problematik der Pathogenese der mikrobiologischen und klinischen Diagnostik dargestellt. Die Diagnose ist in erster Linie vom Kliniker zu stellen. In atypischen Fällen gewinnt der Aktino‐myzetennachweis erheblich an Bedeutung. Andererseits handelt es sich keinesfalls überall dort, wo Aktinomyzeten gefunden werden, um eine Aktinomykose. Summary Reporting 6 cases of human actinomycosis of skin the problems of pathogenesis, microbiological and clinical diagnosis are presentated. Diagnosis first of all is a problem of the clinicians. Actinomyces‐finding above all gets important für atypical cases. On the other hand the question is not at all an actinomycosis, if Actinomyces is found there.

METABOLIC AND SEROLOGIC DIFFERENTIATION OF ACTINOMYCES BOVIS AND “ANAEROBIC DIPHTHEROIDS”

Abstract: It is frequently a difficult task to differentiate Actinomyces bovis from "anaerobic diphtheroids" of questionable pathogenicity. Diphtheroids, isolated from normal and pathological tissues, resemble A. bovis morphologically and in some normal saline, washed, centrifuged, and resus-234
