Actinomycose-like infection by aggregatibacter actin).

Klinger, 1912

Infection of the skin by Aggregatibacter actinomycetemconcomitans, a Gram-negative immobile coccoid rod.

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemconcomitans; detection by culture or by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Can occur as a concomitant germ in actinomycosis, but can also be the causative agent of an infection.

The pathogen is known to cause severe gingivitis and periodontitis. Skin infections have become known as isolated cases. Chronic, ulcerated plaques or nodules of the skin are described, which appeared after banal injuries, especially in the extremities.
