Placental invasion by actinomyces resulting in preterm delivery: a case report. BACKGROUND: Actinomyces is a gram-positive rod, some of which organisms are anaerobic and others which are facultative anaerobes. Most species of Actinomvc... VA Fitzhugh,L Pompeo,DS Heller - 《Journal of Reproductive...
Actinomyces israelii is the most prevalent species but more than 30 species have been described. Infection of the lower respiratory tract is unusual, the involvement of mediastinum being even rarer. Case report A 63-year-old man, previously healthy and living in a rural area...
Discussion Human actinomycosis is caused predominantly by Actinomyces israelii, a slow growing, filamentous, anaerobic, gram-positive bacterium, susceptible to peni cillin. Other species, such as A. naeslundii, A. viscosus, A. odontolyticus and A. meyeri, cause disease less frequently (Lerner...

Eleven of the 21 (38.2%) patients in group 3 had infections, including Pseudomonas spp., gram-positive cocci, Haemophilus spp., Actinomyces spp., and fungi; in the 10 remaining cases, no micro-organisms could be detected. The one case in group 4 was diagnosed as sarcoidosis. On the ...
Kazunoensis [53], belongs to a class II marine spirotetronate polyketides family of microbial metabolites, commonly produced by marine and terrestrial actinomyces, with potent antitumour and antibiotic properties [54]. This group of spirotetronates contains the spirotetronate motif (tetronic acid ...
Streptococcus pyogenes is a gram-positive bacterium found on the skin and in the mucous membranes of its host. Discover the symptoms and illnesses caused by this bacterium, including secondary infections, and how to treat them. Pathogen for Many Illnesses Bacteria: they live in our intestines, ...
This inhibits the formation of N-acetylmuramyl-pentapeptide-undecaprenyl pyrophosphate in bacteria or N-acetylglucosamine-dolichol pyrophosphate in eukar- yotes, which are essential intermediates in these organisms.15–17 Here, we present a data mining analysis of a large genomic library of Actinomyces ...

Another study which focused on the influence of the composition of oral microbiota of pregnant women in the pregnancy outcome showed that some bacteria, such as Actinomyces naselundii, were associated with lower birth weight and earlier delivery, while others, such as lactobacilli, were linked to ...
