One function of the integumentary system is to act as a barrier to bacteria, however there are many microbes that already live on or in our bodies without causing infections. Some treatments for acne include specific oral antibiotics, such as erythromycin and tetracycline, to reduce the amount of Propionibacterium acnes on the skin and in the follicles. Knowing there are both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacterial forms of P. acnes, which of the following statements about using antibiotics is true? Check all that apply.

A recent study demonstrated that there are three unique strains of Propionibacterium acnes; two strains are more prevalent in people with acne; however, one of which appears not to be pathogenic to humans and is more prevalent in people with ‘clear’ skin. Additionally, the strain of P. acnes found in healthy skin kills the of invading bacteria, including the pathogenic P. acnes. Which of the following statements about the targeted removal of ‘bad’ P. acnes and addition of ‘good’ P. acnes is INCORRECT?

Once removed, the invading pathogenic P. acnes can not regrow on the skin.

After “bad” P. acnes is removed, the applications of “good” P. acnes should be able to grow and kill invasive bacteria.

True / False Questions

Scientists, studying skin microbes, have identified three unique strains of the bacterium P. acnes., all of which are found on the skin. These bacteria break down fats, resulting an a low skin pH. This low pH is alkaline in nature and makes the environment unfavorable to invading bacteria.
