Genomic characteristics and phylogenetic relationships of Cutibacterium acnes breast milk isolates.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cutibacterium acnes is one of the most commonly found microbes in breast milk. However, little is known about the genomic characteristics of C. acnes isolated from breast milk. In this study, the sequencing and assembly results of 10 C. acnes isolates from breast milk were compared with the genomic data of 454 strains downloaded from NCBI, and the characteristics of breast milk isolates from various perspectives, including phylogeny, genomic characteristics, virulence genes, drug resistance genes, and carbohydrate utilization, were elucidated.

Results

The findings of this study revealed no differences between the breast milk isolates and other isolates in terms of genomic features, phylogenetic relationships, virulence, and resistance-related genes. However, breas
