Intradiscal Cutibacterium acnes Sustains Modic Type 1‐Like Lesions Over Time in a Rat Lumbar Endplate Injury Model

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Intradiscal C. acnes injection sustained MC1‐like lesions with persistent neutrophil sustenance in an etiology‐specific lumbar MC rat model. This suggests that patients with bacterial MC etiology may persist in painful MC1, highlighting C. acnes and neutrophils as potential targets to promote MC1‐to‐MC2 conversion and improve pain and disability ...
