Tiny bacilli seen on sputum Gram stain.
Its growth satellites around S. aureus on blood agar, and it grows well on chocolate 🍫 agar.
Pfieffer mistakenly thought it caused influenza when he discovered it, which is why “influenza” is in its name.

🔬Classic Gram stain morphology🔬
🕷️Spidery gram-positive bacilli🕷️
Cutibacterium (Propionibacterium) acnes
📸 Pictured is a blood 🩸culture 🧫 that was contaminated with these bacteria from the skin. It can cause infection; C. acnes is a common cause of shoulder PJI.

As we approach World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, at today’s micro plate rounds we learned about beta-lactamases—the enzymes driving beta-lactam resistance. A timely discussion on the mechanisms fueling AMR. #WAAW #AntimicrobialResistance #InfectiousDiseases @PathologyBurns

Here's the latest variant picture for the United States.
DeFLuQE variants are still dominant, but growth has ended and they are in sharp decline.
XEC.* grew strongly to around 27%.

Walking pneumonia is a bacterial infection caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections have been increasing in children since last spring and remain high, especially for kids ages 2-4 years, according to the CDC. buff.ly/40gIa1E
