Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) resistance and antibiotic use in patients attending Australian general practice
Conclusions: P. acnes resistance was similar in 1997–1998 and in 2007.The chance of a patient carrying a resistant strain of P. acnes is significantly greater with recent exposure to antibiotics, and clinicians should limit prescribing where possible. Resistance disappears rapidly after ceasing antibiotics. Cross resistance with other organisms was not detected in this study. (Source: Australasian Journal of Dermatology)...
