Is the Presence of Actinomyces spp. in Blood Culture Always Significant?

Anna Jeffery-Smith1, Caoimhe Nic-Fhogartaigh2, Michael Millar2.   

Abstract

The isolation ofActinomycesspp. from sterile clinical samples is traditionally regarded as significant. We reviewed the demographic characteristics, clinical risk factors, and outcomes of patients withActinomycesspp. isolated from blood cultures in our NHS Trust and found that this is not necessarily the case.
