Abstract

Partial reverse transcriptase sequencing of 16S rRNA from Mobiluncus curtisii and M. mulieris clearly indicate that the genus Mobiluncus is not a member of the Bacteroidaceae but belongs to the order Actinomycetales. The highest degree of relationship is found with the genus Actinomyces which is supported by the presence of common physiological properties.

Actinomycosis

Actinomycosis is a rare, chronic, and slowly progressive granulomatous disease caused by filamentous Gram positive anaerobic bacteria from the Actinomycetaceae family (genus Actinomyces). The disease is characterised by the formation of painful abscesses in the mouth, lungs,breast or gastrointestinal tract. Discover the latest research on actinomycosis here.
