Abstract
Actinomycosis is a rare indolent infection caused by the gram-positive anaerobic to microaerophilic bacteria,
Actinomyces. Usually found in the oropharynx, gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts as commensal flora, oral cervicofacial manifestations are the most common, yet disruption of the mucosa may lead to infection in any site may contribute to pathogenesis via facilitating the growth, survival, via hematogenous spread, including foreign body infections. This mini review article will highlight the characteristics of
Actinomyces in terms of bacteremia, endocarditis and foreign body infection.
