Abstract
Actinomycosis is a widespread non-contagious infectious condition, occurring both in animals and humans, caused by bacteria of the Actinomyces genus. In this report, two cases of pulmonary actinomycosis occurring in two wild chamois from northern Italy are described. In both cases, evidence of lung pyogranulomatous lesions with intra-lesional sulphur granules composed of filamentous, acid fast negative bacteria that stain positive for gram and periodic acid Schiff (PAS) leads to the etiological confirmation of pulmonary actinomycosis.
