Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is an anaerobic and gram-positive bacterium involved in the pathogenesis and inflammation of acne vulgaris. This study particularly focuses on the antimicrobial effect of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei LPH01 against P. acnes, a bacterium that causes acne vulgaris. Fifty-seven Lactobacillus strains were tested for their ability to inhibit P. acnes growth employing the Oxford Cup and double dilution methods. The cell-free supernatant (CFS) of L. paracasei LPH01 demonstrated a strong inhibitory effect, with an inhibition zone diameter of 24.65 ± 0.27 mm and a minimum inhibitory concentration of 12.5 mg/mL. Among the CFS, the fraction over 10 kDa (CFS-10) revealed the best antibacterial effect. Confocal laser scanning microscopes and flow cytometry showed that CFS-10 could reduce cell metabolic activity and cell viability and destroy the integrity and permeability of the cell membrane. A scanning electron microscope revealed that bacterial cells exhibited obvious morphological and ultrastructural changes, which further confirmed the damage of CFS-10 to the cell membrane and cell wall. Findings demonstrated that CFS-10 inhibited the conversion of triglycerides, decreased the production of free fatty acids, and down-regulated the extracellular expression of the lipase gene. This study provides a theoretical basis for the metabolite of L. paracasei LPH01 as a potential antibiotic alternative in cosmeceutical skincare products.
