A Precision Microbiome Approach Using Sucrose for Selective Augmentation of Staphylococcus epidermidis Fermentation against Propionibacterium acnes

Abstract: Acne dysbiosis happens when there is a microbial imbalance of the over-growth of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) in the acne microbiome. In our previous study, we demonstrated that Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis, a probiotic skin bacterium) can exploit glycerol fermentation to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which have antimicrobial activities to suppress the growth of P. acnes. Unlike glycerol, sucrose is chosen here as a selective fermentation initiator (SFI) that can specifically inte… Show more

“…epidermidis isolates have been shown through an antagonism assay to possess antimicrobial activity against C. acnes [27, 56]. Among the S. epidermidis strains with an elevated antimicrobial activity, differences in inhibition zone diameter and appearance were observed, indicating that the antimicrobial substances were of a different nature.…”

“…In this perspective, studies indicate that S. epidermidis may control dysbiosis caused by C. acnes , thus reducing acne severity [27, 56]. However, it still remains unclear which SCFA in the products of S. epidermidis glycerol fermentation primarily contributes to the anti- C. acnes effect.…”
