The actinomycete group has traditionally been a repository for heterogeneous organisms that develop branches sometime during the growth cycle. Until recently, very little attention has been paid to the correct taxonomic assignment of clinically significant isolates. As the newer methods of molecu;ar analysis are applied to the actinomycetes, many of the genera and species are being redefined. Many of the tests are beyond the capabilities of most clinical laboratories. However, both macroscopic and microscopic morphology coupled with a few biochemical test can give a presumptive genus or species identification will require the services of a references laboratory. |
