Caption:
This photograph depicts a close view of an irregularly shaped, Actinomyces sp., strain A-13-R, bacterial colony, which was cultivated on brain heart infusion (BHI) agar growth medium, and incubated for a 10-day time period. Actinomyces spp., normally found in the oral cavity, can become an opportunistic pathogen, a situation usually seen only in immunosuppressed patients. Lesions involve long-standing swelling, suppuration and the formation of an abscess or granuloma.
