Actinomycetoma is a term for a chronic subcutaneous infection caused by fungi or Actinomyces that affect the skin and connective tissue. Once pathological analysis and/or culturing is performed and the causal organism is identified, it is more appropriate to use the following terms: Actinomycosis for the bacterial form.
One example is Streptococcus gordonii which produces H2O2 to kill other oral bacteria, but it does not have catalases to breakdown H2O2. However, another bacterial species called Actinnomyces naeslundi produce catalases which break down some of the H2O2 that S. gordonii cannot break (2).
