Abstract

Propionibacterium acnes was previously described as a potential implant-related pathogen. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of four P. acnes strains, isolated from spine material, hip arthroplasty, and knee arthroplasty infections in France belonging to different sequence types (ST18, ST27, and ST36).
