Anaerobic Gram-Positive Non-Sporeforming Bacterial Infections
Gram-Positive Non-sporeforming Anaerobes NOTE:Figure legend in text indicates that each of these organisms is a bacillus (i.e., rod-shaped). This is INCORRECT. Peptostreptococcus is, as the name indicates, a coccus.
Gram Stain and Macroscopic Colonies of Actinomyces NOTE:Molar tooth appearance of colonies on agar can help remind us that the oral cavity is a common niche for Actinomyces.
Cervicofacial Actinomycosis NOTE:Sinus tract originating in oral cavity has made it’s way to the surface at the jawline.
