Species code:	PROAC
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Actinobacteridae; Actinomycetales; Propionibacterineae; Propionibacteriaceae; Propionibacterium (TaxID: 267747) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	All members of the genus Propionibacterium produce propionic acid as a major metabolic end-product; however they are divided into 2 groups, a cutaneous group (which can cause acne) and a dairy group used in cheese production. Propionibacterium acnes is a Gram-positive bacterium that inhabits the adult human skin. It resides within sebaceous follicles, usually as a harmless commensal even though it is involved in acne formation. It is also associated with other diseases like endocarditis, corneal ulcers, among others.
