Actinomyces and its associated species have, for a long time, been implicated in human infections, particularly those of the mouth, pharynx, distal esophagus, and genitourinary tract. [9] Within the last 10 years, A. massiliensis has been detected in blood, and most Actinomyces bacteremias stem from oral sources. [ 9 ]
Actinomyces bovis is a branching, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Actinomyces. [1] It is the causative agent of lumpy jaw in cattle, and occasionally causes actinomycosis infections in humans. [ 3 ]
Actinomyces is a genus of the Actinomycetia class of bacteria. They all are Gram-positive and facultatively anaerobic , growing best under anaerobic conditions. [ 2 ] Actinomyces species may form endospores , and while individual bacteria are rod-shaped , Actinomyces colonies form fungus -like branched networks of hyphae . [ 3 ]
Actinomyces israelii is a species of Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria within the genus Actinomyces. Known to live commensally on and within humans, A. israelii is an opportunistic pathogen and a cause of actinomycosis .
Actinomycosis is a rare infectious bacterial disease caused by the gram-positive Actinomyces species. [1] The name refers to ray-like appearance of the organisms in the granules. About 70% of infections are due to either Actinomyces israelii or A. gerencseriae. [1] Infection can also be caused by Streptomyces somaliensis and Propionibacterium ...
'Bacterium actinomycetem comitans' was first described by Klinger (1912) as coccobacillary bacteria isolated with Actinomyces from actinomycotic lesions in humans. It was reclassified as Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans by Topley & Wilson (1929) and as Haemophilus actinomycetemcomitans by Potts et al. (1985). The species has attracted ...
Colorectal cancer rates rising among young adults is a trend that public health officials and researchers are worried about. The proportion of people developing the disease under the age of 50 has ...
Actinomycetota, especially Streptomyces spp., are recognized as the producers of many bioactive metabolites that are useful to humans in medicine, such as antibacterials, [18] antifungals, [19] antivirals, antithrombotics, immunomodifiers, antitumor drugs, and enzyme inhibitors; and in agriculture, including insecticides, herbicides, fungicides ...
