Actinomycetes are gram-positive anaerobic bacteria that cause disease primarily in cattle but also in other ruminant species, swine, and horses. Actinomycosis, or lumpy jaw, is a localized, chronic, progressive, granulomatous abscess and osteomyelitis that most frequently involves the mandible and other bony tissues in the head. Presumptive diagnosis is often based on clinical signs. The diagnosis can be confirmed by culture of the organism or stained aspirates; however, the organism can be difficult to isolate. The goal of treatment is to kill the bacteria, control inflammation, and stop the spread of the lesion. Bony changes from this infection are not reversible.
