Corynebacterium parvum: a Synonym for Propionibacterium acnes? Free

Abstract

SUMMARY: Fifty-nine strains labelled were investigated by cell-wall agglutination tests using antisera to and Fifty-two strains appeared to be serologically identical with and three with ; these identifications were confirmed by the results of fermentation and other metabolic tests. Of the remaining four strains, three were identified as by fermentation tests, and by DNA/DNA homology determinations against reference strains of and One strain was identified as Actinomyces, probably

These results indicate that should be regarded as a synonym of
