Abstract

Anti–acne gel composed with partially purified biocompounds (PPBs) prepared from culture broth of Brevibacillus laterosporus at a protein concentration of 0.087 mg/ml could in-vitro dominantly inhibit bacteria causing acne in a group of Staphylococci (Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis) but did not inhibit Propionibacterium acnes. Moreover, it revealed anti–acne gel composed with PPBs could inhibit the growth of Staphylococci similar to commercial anti–acne product composed with Clindamycin. Interestingly, anti-acne gel with of PPBs did not cause contact dermatitis. It is possible to study the appropriate concentration to mix in acne gel. In addition, it may add the active ingredients to increase anti-bacterial activity against bacteria causing acne for acne treatment on healthy skin.
