We determined that the Cutibacterium avidum isolate TP-CV302, from a patient with acne vulgaris in Japan, had the macrolide-clindamycin resistance factor erm (X) located on Tn 5432 . Although this mobile genetic element (MGE) is well recognized in Cutibacterium acnes, it has not been found in Cutibacterium avidum.
