      • Commensal of oral cavity of dogs and humans
      • Canine actinomycosis
      • Causes localised subcutaneous pyogranulomatous lesions and fibrovascular proliferation of peritoneal (peritonitis) and pleural surfaces in dogs
      • Leads to pyothorax
      • Respiratory distress
      • Cutaneous pustules in horses
      • Abortion in cattle
      • Rods contained in soft grey granules which release the organism when squashed
      • Two types of colonies: large and smooth colonies with V, Y and T configurations or small and rough colonies with short branching filaments
      • Grow in 10% carbon dioxide
      • Usually responds to penicillin
