A. naeslundiiWVU45, as well as some other strains of actinomyces expressing type 2 fimbriae, bind also to sialidase-treated polymorphonuclear leukocytes, resulting in the activation of the latter cells, phagocytosis and destruction of the bacteria. The interaction of A. naeslundii WVU45 with...

Detailed molecular and biochemical studies have been carried out using Actinomyces naeslundii, Actinomyces viscosus T14V, Actinomyces oris and Actinomyces naeslundii strains. The genes that encode the structural proteic subunits of type 1 and type 2 fimbriae have been identified. FimP and FimA ...
New medium for isolation of Actinomyces viscosus and Actinomyces naeslundii from dental plaque. Metronidazole (10 microgram/ml) and cadmium sulfate (20 microgram/ml) were added to a gelatin-based medium to select for microaerophilic Actinomyces specie... K S,Kornman,W J,... - 《Journal of...

Actinomyces bovis(naeslundii, odontolyticus,andisraelii)grow well anaerobically but grow poorly, if at all, in an air with 10% CO2. They do not grow aerobically. Colonies are white, rough, and nodular, 2–3 mm in diameter; smooth and rough forms are common. The coloniesadhere tenaciously...
naeslundii, A. viscosus, and Arachnia propionica. There are three major forms of actinomycosis: cervicofacial (“lumpy jaw”), thoracic, and abdomino-pelvic. CLINICAL FEATURES Pulmonary actinomycosis represents approximately 20% of all Actinomyces infections. The most common mode of introduction to...
Actinomycesis a genus of theActinobacteriaclass, ubiquitous Gram-positive bacteria which includeA. odontolyticus, A. oricola, A. radicidentis, A.c radingae, andA. slackii. Some, such asA. naeslundii, A. viscosus, andA. odontolyticusmay be involved in the etiopathogenesis of dental caries ...
