Area of Science:

Bacteriology
Infectious Diseases

Actinomycosis is a rare, chronic bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces species, with a low incidence rate.
It presents variably, often mimicking malignancy, leading to diagnostic delays.
Actinomyces are commensal bacteria that can cause infection by exploiting anatomical defects.
