- Actinomycetoma by Cellulosimicrobium Cellulans in a Young Man from Guinea-Bissau: Short Literature Review Regarding a Case ReportPublication . Trindade Torres, M; Sousa Nunes, B; Varandas, L; Maltez, FMycetoma is caused by the subcutaneous inoculation of filamentous fungi or aerobic filamentous bacteria. Cellulosimicrobium cellulans is a gram-positive bacterium from the order Actinomycetales that rarely causes human disease. The diagnosis is based on the clinical presentation and identification of the causative microorganism. We present a short literature review regarding the case report of a young man diagnosed with actinomycetoma due to Cellulosimicrobium cellulans and who received treatment with an association of amikacin and sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim (Welsh regimen).
