The role of bacteria in lactational mastitis and some considerations of the use of antibiotic treatment

Abstract: Background: The role of bacterial pathogens in lactational mastitis remains unclear. The objective of this study was to compare bacterial species in breast milk of women with mastitis and of healthy breast milk donors and to evaluate the use of antibiotic therapy, the symptoms of mastitis, number of health care contacts, occurrence of breast abscess, damaged nipples and recurrent symptoms in relation to bacterial counts.

“…6 Moreover, GBS can be isolated from breast milk samples in up to 10% of healthy breastfeeding mothers. 7 Furthermore, rectovaginal colonization densities vary substantially over time. 6 Accordingly, GBS isolates from mother and infant are usually clonally related, independently of whether neonatal GBS colonization occurs around the time of birth and then persists, or whether GBS is acquired later.…”
