  2. Actinomyces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinomyces

    Actinomyces species may form endospores, and while individual bacteria are rod-shaped, Actinomyces colonies form fungus-like branched networks of hyphae. [3] The aspect of these colonies initially led to the incorrect assumption that the organism was a fungus and to the name Actinomyces, "ray fungus" (from Greek actis, ray or beam, and mykes ...

  4. Actinomycosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinomycosis

    Actinomycosis is a rare infectious bacterial disease caused by the gram-positive Actinomyces species. [1] The name refers to ray-like appearance of the organisms in the granules. About 70% of infections are due to either Actinomyces israelii or A. gerencseriae. [1] Infection can also be caused by Streptomyces somaliensis and Propionibacterium ...

  6. Actinomycetaceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinomycetaceae

    The Actinomycetaceae (often called actinomycetes or mycelial bacteria) are a family of bacteria in the order Actinomycetales that contains the medically important genus Actinomyces. These organisms are closely related to the mycobacteria, but were originally classified as fungi because they were thought to be transitional forms between bacteria ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinomycetota

    The Actinomycetota genus Bifidobacterium is the most common bacteria in the microbiome of human infants. [11] Although adults have fewer bifidobacteria, intestinal bifidobacteria help maintain the mucosal barrier and reduce lipopolysaccharide in the intestine.
