Isolation and diagnosis of Propionibacteriun acnes from individuals suffer from acne and determination of MIC for common disinfectants against it

Abstract

The study included 175 samples of individuals suffer from acne included 73 Comedones and 102 samples Pustules of 159 patients ,Samples were collected from patients auditors of the Advisory of Dermatology of the Kirkuk General Hospital and Azadi teaching Hospital, between the ages of (12-32) year.
