Many studies have noted an increase in the number of recognized cases of invasive infections due to Propionibacterium acnes , especially after shoulder replacement surgery. The increase in the number of recognized cases of P. acnes , a nonspore-forming, anaerobic, Gram-positive organism, appears due to both an increase in the number of shoulder operations being performed and more specimens being sent for anaerobic cultures. Nevertheless, the optimal surgical and antibiotic management of P. acnes remains controversial.
