Actinomycetoma is a term for a chronic subcutaneous infection caused by fungi or Actinomyces that affect the skin and connective tissue. Once pathological analysis and/or culturing is performed and the causal organism is identified, it is more appropriate to use the following terms: Actinomycosis for the bacterial form.
Actinomycosis is caused by various bacterial species of the actinomycete group. Usually, the disease is caused by Actinomyces israelii, an anaerobic gram-positive organism that enters the tissue through a break in the mucosa.he pathogen is in actinomycosis a filamentous bacterium (see the image below and Causes). Historically, actinomycosis has been confused with a fungal disease because of its appearance and the slowly progressive nature of the lesions, which mimics mycotic illness.
