Recent advancements in chemotaxonomic and molecular biology-based identification
methods have clarified the taxonomy of the genus Actinomyces and have led to the …

Members of the genus Actinomyces, Gram-positive, non-spore-forming anaerobic bacteria,
are normal inhabitants of the mucosal surfaces of the oral, gastrointestinal and genital tracts …

Due to molecular biology techniques such as 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the number of
new bacterial species grows continuously. However, this taxonomical reorganization has to …

Actinomycosis is a chronic infection caused by Actinomyces species characterized by
abscess formation, tissue fibrosis, and draining sinuses. The spectrum of infections caused …

The group of gram‐positive bacillary organisms broadly known as “aerobic actinomycetes”
consists of a vast array of taxonomically heterogeneous and divergent genera. This chapter …

We determined the frequency distribution of Actinomyces spp. recovered in a routine clinical
laboratory and investigated the clinical significance of accurate identification to the species …

Actinomycosis is a chronic bacterial infection, caused by the genus Actinomyces,
commensal of the digestive and genital tract. The most common presentation of the disease …

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)
