Physiology 

Bacteria with fungi-like structures.



Actinomycetes are true bacteria 



lack of nucleus membrane and mitochondria susceptibility to antibacterial but not to antifungal

Physiology  There are aerobic and anaerobic

actinomycetes 



Aerobe; Nocardia, Actinomadura, Streptomyces Anaerobe; Actinomyces

 Slowly growing 

Actinomycosis 

Lumpy jaw



Chronic disease characterized by formation of multiple abscesses and sinus tracts that discharge sulfur granules

www.ams.cmu.ac.th

Actinomycosis 

Etiologic agent: Anaerobic bacteria 

Actinomyces israeli, A. gerencseriae



A. naeslundii, A.odontolyticus, A. viscosus



Gram-positive branching filamentous, no spore forming



Acid-fast negative www.ams.cmu.ac.th

Actinomycosis 

Source : Normal flora of the upper respiratory, gastrointestinal and female genital tracts



3 major clinical types 

Cervicofacial actinomycosis (50-70%)



Thoracic actinomycosis (15-20%)



Abdominal & pelvic actinomycosis (10-20%)

Actinomycosis

Actinomycosis 

Laboratory diagnosis 





Specimen : pus, sputum, skin biopsy Naked eye ; sulfur granule 10 % KOH, Gram’s stain

www.ams.cmu.ac.th

Sulphur granules

Actinomycosis

A) Microscope view of actinomycotic “sulfur granules” (10x) (Exudate from an abdominal wound infection)

B) Gram-stained smear from the specimen as in A), showing thin sulfur granule with thin, branching filaments (800x)

www.ams.cmu.ac.th

Actinomycosis 

Laboratory diagnosis 



Cultures immediately under anaerobic conditions and incubated for 48 hours or require 2-3 weeks. Typical colonies have "molar tooth" appearance on agar

Molar tooth colony

www.ams.cmu.ac.th

Actinomycosis 

Treatment 



1 to 2 months of penicillin given through a vein, followed by 6 to 12 months of penicillin taken by mout h. co-trimoxasole, chloramphenicol, methicilin
