In this classic episode, Dr’s J and Santhosh cover the bacteria actinomyces and its associated diseases. Along the way, they cover infected Egyptian murals, carmen sandiego, lumpy bumpy jaw, anaerobic bacteria, medical etymology, disrespectful bacteria, unique properties of bully bacteria, antibiotic contributions, bacterial colonization, actinomycosis, insidious infections, sulfur granules, diagnosis, treatment and the possible return of just the tip! So sit back and relax as as we dive into a lesser known bacteria and dish the dirt on actinomyces!
