***Found naturally in oral cavity of cattle
***Prefers anaerobic conditions but not strict anaerobe
***Entry of organism into tissues following trauma to the mucosa from rough feed or tooth eruption
***Causes [[Chronic Inflammation - Pathology#Granulomatous Inflammation|granulomatous inflammation]] of soft tissues and bone, causing [[Teeth - Pathology#Mandibular Osteomyelitis|lumpy jaw]]
***Usually invades mandible to cause [[Bones Inflammatory - Pathology#Osteomyelitis|osteomyelitis]] and may extend to surrounding [[Muscles Inflammatory - Pathology#Actinomycosis bovis|muscles]]
***The lesions begins as a painless swelling of the affected bone
***Swelling becomes more painful and enlarges over a number of weeks, gaining fistulous tracts which discharge pus
***Organisms found in yellow sulphur granules
***Club colony formation
***Colonies adhere to agar media and are non-haemolytic
***Surgical treatment possible when lesions are small
***Prolonged parenteral penicillin treatment may be beneficial early in the disease
