Abstract [en]

Propionibacterium acnes is a gram-positive bacillus predominantly found on the skin. Although it is considered an opportunistic pathogen it is also been associated with severe infections. Some specific P. acnes subtypes are hypothesized to be more prone to cause infection than others. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the ability to discriminate between P. acnes isolates of a refined multilocus sequence typing (MLST) method and a genotyping method, DiversiLab, based on repetitive-sequence-PCR technology.

The MLST and DiversiLab analysis were performed on 29 P. acnes isolates of diverse origins; orthopedic implant infections, deep infections following cardiothoracic surgery, skin, and isolates from perioperative tissue samples from prostate cancer. Subtyping was based on recA, tly, and Tc12S sequences.

The MLST analysis identified 23 sequence types and displayed a superior ability to discriminate P. acnes isolates compared to DiversiLab and the subtyping. The highest discriminatory index was found when using seven genes. DiversiLab was better able to differentiate the isolates compared to the MLST clonal complexes of sequence types.

Our results suggest that DiversiLab can be useful as a rapid typing tool for initial discrimination of P. acnes isolates. When better discrimination is required, such as for investigations of the heterogeneity of P. acnes isolates and its involvement in different pathogenic processes, the present MLST protocol is valuable.

Abstract [en]

An association between cancer development and inflammation has long been suggested. Approximately 20% of all human cancers in adults are assumed to result from chronic inflammation. The aim of this thesis was to investigate if infection-induced chronic inflammation plays a role in prostate carcinogenesis.

Our results revealed a greater infiltration of the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes in the prostate tissue obtained from men with prostate cancer compared to men without any histological evidence of the disease. These findings indicate that prostate cancer could potentially be included in the list of cancers with an infectious etiology.

Further, we investigated whether chronic inflammation has a role in disease progression. Our results demonstrated that men with lethal prostate cancer had pronounced infiltration of immune cells with suppressive function of the anti-tumor immune response compared to men with a more indolent prostate cancer.

Confirmation of our results may open up avenues for targeted prostate cancer treatment by offering men with chronic inflammation alternative therapies such as anti-inflammatory drugs. If the involvement of P. acnes in prostate cancer development is replicated in other studies, vaccination therapies may be feasible. To further individualize prostate cancer therapy, bolstering the anti-tumor immune response in order to reduce tumor progression may be determined to be advantageous for some patients.
