Actinomycetes are unicellular, Gram-positive bacteria that belong to the Order Actinomycetales. Members of this group are widely distributed in nature and can be found in a variety of habitats across the world. They have been shown to share a number of characteristics with fungi (e.g. mycelial growth) and cause the same disease as fungi in the eye Actinomycosis is a rare infection, especially in the United States. Since the infection spreads so slowly, actinomycosis was first thought to be a fungal infection Actinomyces are anaerobic, while Nocardia and Streptomyces are aerobic. Nocardia stain partially acid-fast, Actinomyces and Streptomyces are not acid-fast. Actinomyces and Streptomyces produce granules. Most actinomycetes in tissue do not stain with the H & E stain commonly used for general histopathology Management of actinomycosis often entails prolonged courses of antimicrobials. Surgical intervention may also be necessary in more complicated cases, such as infection in critical spaces (eg, epidural infections, brain abscesses), patients with massive hemoptysis, or when extensive abscesses and fistulous tracts are present Endophthalmitis, attributable to Actinomyces viscosus, developed in a 78-year-old man after cataract surgery. Postoperative endophthalmitis with this organism is a rare occurrence. Inflammation was characterized by anterior segment and vitreous cellular debris in cases of chronic postoperative endophthalmitis associated with Actinomyces species
Actinomycosis is a subacute-to-chronic bacterial infection caused by filamentous, gram-positive, non-acid-fast, anaerobic-to-microaerophilic bacteria. It is characterized by contiguous spread, suppurative and granulomatous inflammation, and formation of multiple abscesses and sinus tracts that may discharge sulfur granules Actinomycosis is a rare and potentially serious type of infectious bacterial disease. It can pass through damaged body tissues inside the body, leading to swelling, inflammation, and multiple. CLINICAL DISEASE Actinomyces are also responsible for -Gingivitis, periodontitis -Sublingual plaques, root caries -Spread to CNS from primary focus -Actinomycotic Mycetoma - tumour with multiple discharging sinuses, mainly foot 13. LAB. DIAGNOSIS Specimen - pus, sputum, tissue biopsy Methods - microscopy, culture, IF & HPE 14 Actinomycosis is a chronic localized or hematogenous anaerobic infection caused by Actinomyces israelii and other species of Actinomyces. Findings are a local abscess with multiple draining sinuses, a tuberculosis-like pneumonitis, and low-grade systemic symptoms. Diagnosis is by the typical appearance plus laboratory identification Actinomyces and Nocardia Lecture / محاضرة حول بكتيريا الاكتنومايسيز والنوكارديه F lowchart for Gram-postive non-spore forming rods Actinomyces & Nocardia Lectur
Introduction: Actinomyces and Nocardia are filamentous bacteria that can simulate neoplastic diseases, mainly in lungs. Methods: A retrospective study based on the analysis of the medical records. Rejection Criteria. 1. Do NOT send swabs. 2. SPECIMENS FROM SITES WHICH HAVE ANAEROBIC BACTERIA AS NORMAL FLORA (e.g. throat or sputum, rectal swabs, cervical-vaginal mucosal swabs, skin and superficial wounds) WILL ROUTINELY BE REJECTED. 3. Specimens MUST be sent in anaerobic transport or sterile cup within 1 hour of collection for IUD. 4 Actinomyces are nonmotile, filamentous, Gram-positive bacteria that cause actinomycosis in immunodeficiency patients. Although the prognosis of actinomycosis is good, the diagnosis of actinomycosis is quite difficult. Recent studies on actinomycosis have shown that Actinomyces play an important role in various biological and clinical processes, such as the formation of dental plaque and the.
Actinomyces species are Gram-positive anaerobic organisms associated with a wide range of infections: dental caries, abscesses, intraabdominal and blood stream infections. They colonize human oropharynx, gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts. Traditionally, isolation of actinomyces from any sterile specimen was always considered significant Les actinomyces deviennent dangereux à la suite d'une lésion ou d'une agression mécanique de la muqueuse (bouche, intestin), survenant essentiellement au moment d'une extraction dentaire ou l'ingestion d'un corps étranger voire d'une perforation d'un organe creux. 2.

Actinomyces spp. are Gram-positive anaerobes normally found in the upper respiratory tract, oral cavity and digestive tract of domestic animals and humans. Although part of the normal flora, the bacteria are opportunistic invaders; several species are associated with diseases in animals ( Glinski and Chelminski, 2014 ) The key difference between actinomyces and actinomycetes is that actinomyces is a genus of actinomycetes, which are anaerobic and not acid-fast, while actinomycetes are a group of filamentous and higher bacteria that are gram-positive.. Actinomycetes are a group of bacteria that are gram-positive and behave much like fungi. They are beneficial for agriculture and soil systems
Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative disease caused by Actinomyces species, which are members of the endogenous flora normally encountered in the mouth, gastrointestinal tract, and female genital tract ( 1 ). Actinomycosis usually manifests with several features, such as abscess formation, dense fibrosis, and draining sinuses ( 2 ) ACTINOMYCES Class: Actinomyces Order: Actinomycetales Family: Actinomycetaceae Common Name: Firefang. Greek Root: From actino meaning rayed or star-like and myces or fungus, in reference to its characteristic appearance when colonizing straw or straw/manure compost. Habitat & Frequency of Occurrence: Many species thermophilic; thriving in the 115-135°F. temperature range and commonly.
Actinomycosis is usually caused by the bacterium called Actinomyces israelii. This is a common organism found in the nose and throat. It normally does not cause disease. Because of the bacteria's normal location in the nose and throat, actinomycosis most commonly affects the face and neck. The infection can sometimes occur in the chest. الجنس: شعية فطرية Actinomyces. النوع: شعية نوية. الاسم العلمي. Actinomyces neuii.

Actinomyces neuii, a species first described in 1994, has proven to be an exception in this genus on account of its aerobic growth, microscopic morphology (no branching), and the types and location of infections.Abscesses and infected atheromas are the most frequent types of infections, followed by infected skin structures, endophthalmitis, and bacteremias, including endocarditis Actinomyces. Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. Actinomyces é um gênero de actinobactérias gram-positivas, anaeróbias ou anaeróbias facultativas, não formam esporos, e, enquanto as bactérias individuais são esféricas (cocos), as colônias formam estruturas semelhantes às hifas dos fungos. São capazes de reduzir nitratos e. Actinomyces species may invade via damaged mucosa, leading to bacteremia and systemic infections in both healthy individuals [6, 7] and immunocompromised patients . Diagnosis of Actinomyces infection is often delayed because of nonspecific and prolonged symptoms, resulting in development of chronic debilitating disease

Infection caused by Actinomyces species is usually limited to cervicofacial, thoracic, and abdominopelvic regions. Infective endocarditis due to Actinomyces species is extremely rare with only 30 reported cases since 1939. We report a case of Actinomyces oris endocarditis in a 14-year-old boy who had a 2-week history of. Actinomyces actually means ray fungus in Greek. Actinomyces are true bacteria due to the lack of mitochondria and a nuclear membrane, reproduction by cell fission and susceptibility to penicillin but not to antifungal chemotherapeutic agents. Actinomyces are morphologically similar to Nocardia except that they Actinomyces are not acid-fast Actinomyces israelii, or just A. israelii, is a gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria that causes a human infection called actinomycosis.. Calling this bug actinomyces implies that it's morphologically similar to fungus, because both form microscopic branching filaments (or mycelium), while the word Israelii comes from James Adolf Israel, the German surgeon who first described it

The genus Actinomyces comprises a group of 42 species and 2 subspecies ().Classification of these organisms has traditionally relied on phenotypic testing: Actinomyces are indole negative, and species may be differentiated by colony morphology and biochemical characteristics. However, such phenotypic tests have resulted in misidentification (), and classification based on genotypic methods.
Actinomyces. Actinomyces is a genus of the Actinobacteria class of bacteria. They all are gram-positive. Actinomyces species are facultatively anaerobic (except A. meyeri and A. israelii both obligate anaerobe), and they grow best under anaerobic conditions. Actinomyces species may form endospores, and, while individual bacteria are rod-shaped. 註： ♪ 無法單獨培養的原核生物 ♠ 資料取自美國國家生物技術信息中心（NCBI）。. 延伸閱讀 []. Pandey, B.; Ghimire, P.; Agrawal, V.P.
