Abstract
Actinomyces are gram-positive, nonacid-fast, branching filamentous prokaryotic microorganisms with anaerobic or microaerophilic requirements.1-5 Actinomyces species are part of the normal flora of the oropharyngeal cavity, specifically concentrated in the tonsillar crypts, the surface of carious teeth, and the gingival pocket.4,6 Actinomycosis is rarely a pathologic concern because of the organism's low virulence and does not appear to be an opportunistic disease because there is no specific predisposition toward immunocompromised individuals.
