Bacterial Phylum Actinobacteria01:30

Bacterial Phylum Actinobacteria

Coryneform bacteria are gram-positive, aerobic, nonmotile rods that exhibit irregular, club-shaped, or V-shaped arrangements. Their V-shape results from snapping division, where the inner cell wall layer forms the cross-wall, while the outer layer remains intact until it ruptures on one side, causing the daughter cells to bend away.The primary genera are Corynebacterium and Arthrobacter. Corynebacterium includes diverse species, ranging from saprophytes to pathogens like Corynebacterium...
The Oral Microbiota01:27

The Oral Microbiota

The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...

Area of Science:

  • Medical microbiology
  • Oral and maxillofacial surgery
  • Infectious diseases

Background:

  • Actinomycosis is a rare bacterial infection, often affecting the cervicofacial region.
  • Diagnosis is typically confirmed via histopathology.
  • Treatment involves surgical debridement and long-term antibiotic therapy.

Observation:

  • Three cases of mandibular actinomycosis are presented.
  • Clinical presentations included jaw swelling, delayed alveolar healing, and restricted mouth opening.
  • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis in all cases.

Findings:

  • Mandibular actinomycosis is caused by Actinomyces israelii.
  • Untreated lesions can progress to osteitis and sequestration.
  • All patients achieved good clinical outcomes with surgical intervention and antibiotics.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of early diagnosis for effective management of mandibular actinomycosis.
  • Emphasizes the role of surgical curettage and antibiotic therapy in treatment.
  • Contributes to understanding the clinical presentation and progression of this rare condition.
