Members don't see this ad.

For example, in FA, actinomyces is anaerobic (p 139) and iN CMMRS (p 7) actinomyces is facultative anaerobic.

UptoDate says, "Actinomyces are non-spore-forming, strict or facultative anaerobes."

So. apparently the answer is "both" - for exam, would you go with that or one over the other? Or do we assume they won't ask a question without a clear answer? Thanks for your thoughts?

I have a feeling they won't necessarily ask "Is Actinomyces a👎 a. facultative anaerobe b. strict anaerobe......."

Rather they might ask generally if it is an anaerobe. I think there are more important aspects of the bug that you should focus on: Assoc. with farmer's lung, Hyphae-like config., etc."
