You seem to know more about Actinomyces. My blood cultures are not being held for labs long enough but 1st one was held for 2 to 4 weeks which showed it. Each one thereafter to see if it's still there has been 5 days and not showing. The sores have now developed Staph and am took off 500 mg pn. And now on Moxycycline. I'm very disturbed by the treatment recieved and lack of knowledge but everything I'm readi g says it takes 5 to 20 days to culture. Who is the best MD to see over actinomycosis ?

If you feel you are not getting the right answers for your situation, you could seek out an Infectious Disease doctor. If you are in a large medical practice, there may be one in the system. Otherwise you can ask your primary provider for a referral or google for "Infectious Disease Specialist near [your location]".
