Microbiology of <i>Actinomyces</i> Species Isolated From Patients With Invasive Disease and Contaminated Samples in a Comprehensive Cancer Center
<i>A odontolyticus, A meyeri,</i> and <i>A naeslundi</i> were the most frequently isolated species causing invasive actinomycosis, and <i>A odontolyticus</i> and <i>A nauslendii</i> among colonizers. Abdominopelvic represented the most frequent site for invasive disease. Further studies are needed to investigate the epidemiology of <i>Actinomyces</i> species in this population.
