“…Infections caused by Actinomyces spp. have an indolent course, including actinomycosis, and usually resolve favourably with appropriate antibiotic treatment [3].Treatment of abscesses with antibiotic therapy alone is usually not sufficient, requiring drainage and prior debridement for complete resolution [3,14].…”

In traditional bacterial cultures of clinical samples, the presence of coryneform has often been considered as local flora, but it is well known that in patients with predisposing factors, these micro-organisms may have a pathogenic implication that would be underestimated. Among other causes, this is due to the difficulty in making an adequate identification to species level. The advent of mass spectrometry in clinical laboratories has greatly facilitated this task. We describe a clinical case of Actinomyces naoi urinary tract infection in an elderly multipath logical patient with urinary catheterization. For this purpose, a descriptive clinical-microbiological study of A. naoi as a pathogen was performed. It was identified by Maldi-TOF mass spectrometry. The clinical course was satisfactory after antibiotic treatment with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. In urine cultures, if there is a significant monomicrobial count of choryneform micro-organisms, we should rule out microorganisms potentially involved in infection before reporting the result as local microbiota.

El Actinomyces es una bacteria gram positiva, que puede producir infecciones granulomatosas crónicas, la prevalencia no es clara en los países en vía desarrollo, la presentación clinica puede aparecer a cualquier edad, las manifestaciones clínica típica es una enfermedad granulomatosa indolente crónica, de evolución lenta, la cual puede infectar múltiples órganos, una de las presentaciones poco frecuentes es la fascitis necrotizante, y su agente causal raramente es el Actinomyces neuii, el cual responde adecuadamente al manejo antibiótico con betalactamicos e intervencion quirurgica. Se describe el caso de una mujer de 34 años, con cuadro de rubor calor y dolor local en región glúteo, quien se diagnosticó oportunamente fascitis necrotizante con puntaje LRINEC de 8 puntos, fue llevada a procedimiento quirurgico, el cual describen múltiples abscesos, en región glútea, y zonas de fascitis necrotizante. Se reportó en cultivo el crecimiento de Actynomices neuii, se indicó tratamiento con Cefalexina, y seguimiento clinico. La identificación oportuna para un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno con el fin de evitar secuelas clínicas y estéticas secundarias.
