Common Features and Intra-Species Variation of <i>Cutibacterium modestum</i> Strains, and Emended Description of the Species
<i>Cutibacterium modestum</i> is a new species coined in 2020 as the fifth species of genus <i>Cutibacterium</i>, which includes <i>Cutibacterium acnes</i>. The species is predicted as a minor but common member of skin microbiome and includes a group tentatively n...

<i>Cutibacterium modestum</i> is a new species coined in 2020 as the fifth species of genus <i>Cutibacterium</i>, which includes <i>Cutibacterium acnes</i>. The species is predicted as a minor but common member of skin microbiome and includes a group tentatively named as “<i>Propionibacterium humerusii</i>”. The description of the species has been provided only with a single strain. To establish the characteristics of <i>C. modestum</i> and search for possible disease-related subtypes, we investigated the biochemical characteristics of eight live strains and performed in silico comparison of nine genomes. The common features, which included the morphology of Gram-stain positive short rods, the negativity of phenylalanine arylamidase, and several unique MALDI-TOF MS spectral peaks, were considered useful in laboratory identification.
