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.
Diseases Associated with Anaerobic Gram-Positive Bacilli
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.
Actinomyces Infections
Cervicofacial Actinomycosis NOTE: Sinus tract originating in oral cavity has made it’s way to the surface at the jawline.
