Cutibacterium acnes is a gram-positive, anaerobic rod commonly found on the skin and mucosal membrane. It is mostly associated with its role in acne formation, but here we present a case of purulent pericarditis secondary to C. acnes after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). A 58-year-old male presented for CABG after a coronary angiogram showed severe multivessel disease. The procedure was performed successfully. He had minimal complications until postop day seven, when he developed a fever and hypoxia. The transthoracic echo (TTE) was largely unrevealing. Due to further declining status the following day, a transesophageal echo (TEE) was performed and revealed a loculated pericardial effusion not visualized on TTE. This was subsequently drained, and fluid cultures grew C. acnes. The patient received five weeks of antibiotic therapy, which improved his condition.

“…Тимусные производные, миелопептиды потенцировали синтез белка и нуклеиновых кислот в различных клетках. Тимомиметики оказались регуляторами липидного обмена, снижали содержание глюкозы в крови, нормализовали показатели функции печени [11,13]. Галавит у больных хроническим пиелонефритом обусловил нормализацию содержания креатинина и билирубина; суперлимф -креатинина; деринат -мочевины, креатинина, АЛАТ и АСАТ [2,7].…”

Metabolics, antioxidants, immunomodulators of various origins and mechanisms of action are able to realize a wide range of effects on the pathogenetic units of chronic pyelonephritis. Clinical manifestations in patients with exacerbation of the disease dynamics of normalization of the level of cellular, humoral markers of inflammation, T-B-dependent and cytokine units of immunity, as well as enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms of the antioxidant system (AOS) are subject to correction. The implementation of these effects is differentiated, dependent on the combination of used metabolic and immunotropic drugs. It specifically includes the possibility of modification by metabolites (Mk, Ml) of the properties of the immunomodulator (If) and immunomodulators (Bf, Sl) of the characteristics of the metabolic (Gp).

“…The inocula were adjusted to give a cell concentration of 5•10 5 CFU•mL -1 for the aerobic and 1•10 6 CFU•mL -1 for the anaerobic bacteria. Most of the bacterial strains were chosen due to their close relationship with skin infections [7,[81][82][83][84].…”
