Abstract

Propionibacterium acnes is now well-known and recognized for its implication in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of an erythromycin-resistant P. acnes strain isolated from a case of folliculitis of the scalp belonging to phylotype IA1 and sequence type 18 (ST18).
