| description | <i>Cutibacterium acnes</i>, a prevalent skin commensal, has emerged as a significant global challenge due to its widespread antibiotic resistance. To investigate the antibiotic resistance mechanisms and clinical characterization of <i>C. acnes</i> in Korea, we collected 22 clinical isolates from diverse patient specimens obtained from the National Culture Collection for Pathogens across Korea. Among the isolates, KB112 isolate was subjected to whole genome sequencing due to high resistance against clindamycin, erythromycin, tetracycline, doxycycline, and minocycline. The whole genome analysis of KB112 isolate revealed a circular chromosome of 2,534,481 base pair with an average G + C content of 60.2% with sequence type (ST) 115, harboring the potential virulent CAMP factor pore-forming toxin 2 (CAMP2), the multidrug resistance ABC transporter ATP-binding protein YknY, and the multidrug efflux protein YfmO. The genomic sequence also showed the existence of a plasmid (30,947 bp) containing the <i>erm</i>(50) and <i>tet</i>(W) gene, which confer resistance to macrolide–clindamycin and tetracycline, respectively. This study reports plasmid-mediated multi-drug resistance of <i>C. acnes</i> for the first time in Korea. |
