    MICROBIOLOGY

    • Mycetoma: nonspecific term describing chronic infectious process either due to bacteria (actinomycetoma) or fungi (eumycetoma).
      • Eumycetoma: caused by a variety of fungi most commonly Madurella spp. including dematiaceous fungi.
      • Actinomycetoma: caused by Gram positive, filamentous higher bacteria (Actinomyces spp., Nocardia spp.); important to distinguish by culture from eumycetoma to direct appropriate therapy.
