Actinomyces naeslundii as an Agent of Human Actinomycosis

Health Services and Mental Health Administration, National Communicable Disease Center, Atlanta, Georgia 30333
St. Vincent's Infirmary, Little Rock, Arkansas 72201

ABSTRACT

The repeated isolation of Actinomyces naeslundii from clinical materials associated with disease led to a comparison of isolates from the normal mouth with isolates from pathological clinical materials not from the mouth area. No important differences were observed between the isolates from these two sources. A human case of empyema of the gall bladder, apparently due to A. naeslundii, is described.
