  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Propionibacterium acnes are gram-positive pleomorphic rods that grow under an anaerobic condition. They are the most frequent inhabitants of sebaceous glands of skin, hair follicles, mouth, upper respiratory tract, and as a frequent contaminant in laboratory cultures. Propionibacterium acnes is an underestimated but significant cause of postneuro-surgical infection, especially in the presence of foreign bodies such as shunt systems. We present a rare case with a postoperative subdural empyema in which the only pathogen isolated was Propionibacterium acnes. In our case, the clinical course was atypically rapid.
