Abstract
Opportunistic infections emerging from human skin microbiota are of ever-increasing importance. Cutibacterium acnes , being abundant on the human skin, may cause deep-seated infections (e.g., device-associated infections). Differentiation between invasive (i.e., clinically significant) C. acnes isolates and sole contaminants is often difficult.
