1. Skin Health: Propionibacterium acnes is a normal resident of human skin, particularly in the sebaceous (oil-producing) areas. While it is often associated with acne, it is important to note that it is a part of the natural skin microbiota and not necessarily a pathogenic organism. Research continues to explore the complex interactions between Propionibacterium acnes and skin health.

2. Fermentation: Some members of the Propionibacteriaceae family are involved in fermentation processes, particularly in the production of propionic acid. Propionic acid is used in the food industry as a preservative and flavoring agent.

3. Dairy Fermentation: Certain species of Propionibacterium are used in the production of Swiss cheese, where they contribute to the flavor and texture of the cheese.

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
