Schaalia turicensis is facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus that commonly inhabits the oropharynx, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tract of healthy individuals. This organism has been co-isolated with Neisseria gonorrhoeae from 15-year-old Thai male patient with gonococcal urethritis in Bangkok, Thailand. In this study, we characterized the class 1 integron in S. turicensis isolate using whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Sequencing analysis confirmed the presence of an imperfect class 1 integron located on chromosome and a novel 24.5-kb-long composite transposon, named Tn7083. The transposon Tn7083 carried genes encoding chloramphenicol resistance (cmx), sulfonamide resistance (sul1), and aminoglycoside resistance [aph(6)-Id (strB), aph(3'')-Ib (strA), aph(3')-Ia].

organisms reside on mucosal surfaces of the oropharynx and the genitourinary tract. Polymicrobial infections with organisms are increasingly being reported in the literature. Since these infections differ from classical actinomycosis, lacking of specific clinical and imaging findings, slow-growing organisms can be regarded as contaminants or insignificant findings.

Skin abscess is one of the most common infections of the skin and soft tissues. However, anaerobic bacteria are infrequently identified as the causative agents of this particular form of abscess. In this case, a 34-year-old pregnant woman was diagnosed with a skin abscess with the use of ultrasonography.

Background: Actinomyces turicensis is rarely responsible of clinically relevant infections in human. Infection is often misdiagnosed as malignancy, tuberculosis, or nocardiosis, therefore delaying the correct identification and treatment. Here we report a case of a 55-year-old immunocompetent adult with brain abscess caused by A.
