Pulmonary actinomycosis caused by Actinomyces cardiffensis.
We herein present the first case of pulmonary actinomycosis caused by Actinomyces cardiffensis (A. cardiffensis). A computed tomography (CT) examination revealed a nodule with cavitation in the left upper lobe of the lung. One month later, the lesion had almost disappeared, but a new nodule with peripheral consolidation had appeared in the right middle lobe. Because organizing pneumonia was sus...
متن کاملInfection of a hip prosthesis by Actinomyces naeslundii.
We present the case of a 77-year-old woman who developed an Actinomyces naeslundii infection of a hip prosthesis. The isolate grew well aerobically with 5% CO(2). Possible diagnostic problems may arise in the microbiological laboratory because aerobic growth is not sufficiently accounted for in some of the traditional identification schemes and commercial test kits. Therefore, besides presentin...
متن کاملComparative pathogenicity of Actinomyces naeslundii and Actinomyces israelii.
Typical actinomycosis has been produced in mice following single intraperitoneal injections of saline suspensions of Actinomyces israelii and A. naeslundii. A. israelii produced infections in 95.8% of the animals inoculated. A. naeslundii, generally considered to be a saprophytic organism, produced lesions in 89.7% of the inoculated animals. The finding that A. naeslundii produced lesions in mi...
متن کاملMannose-contaminating agglutinin for Actinomyces viscosus and Actinomyces naeslundii.
Rapid agglutination of Actinomyces viscosus and Actinomyces naeslundii cells by D-mannose solutions was observed during studies of their attachment to mammalian cells in vitro. The specificity of the agglutination reaction was studied by slide agglutination tests and by measuring the rate of decrease in optical density of bacterial phosphate buffer suspensions caused by the setting of bacterial...
متن کاملActinomyces naeslundii: An Uncommon Cause of Endocarditis
Actinomyces rarely causes endocarditis with 25 well-described cases reported in the literature in the past 75 years. We present a case of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) caused by Actinomyces naeslundii. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of endocarditis due to this organism and the second report of PVE caused by Actinomyces.
