Cutibacterium acnes strain selection: BeiersdorfRecent Research Landscape

Uncontrolled proliferation of specific pathogenic strains causes inflammatory skin conditions and treatment resistance. Engineering strain-level selectivity preserves the microbiome while neutralizing targeted pathogens.

What technical problems is Beiersdorf addressing in Cutibacterium acnes strain selection?

Pathogenic microbial dysbiosis

(13)evidences

Disruption of the skin microbiome leads to inflammatory conditions like acne and dermatitis. Restoring microbial equilibrium prevents chronic tissue degradation and inflammatory flare-ups.

Pathogenic microbial overgrowth

(3)evidences

Uncontrolled proliferation of specific fungal and bacterial strains leads to inflammatory skin conditions. Mitigating this imbalance prevents acne lesion formation and chronic skin irritation.
