The study aims to highlight the occurrence of actinomycosis and its identification in chronic infections.
Clinical samples were cultured in Robertson’s Cooked Meat media under aerobic, anaerobic, and CO2 conditions.
Identification of anaerobic isolates was performed using conventional methods and VITEK 2.
Antimicrobial susceptibility was assessed using Epsilometer strips.
Actinomyces meyeri was found in one case and Actinomyces odontolyticus in three cases.
Three isolates showed resistance to metronidazole, illustrating treatment challenges.
The findings indicate the necessity for enhanced antimicrobial stewardship for anaerobic infections.
