A Single-Center Retrospective Study on the Bacteriological Profile of Breast Abscesses
The microbiological profile of breast abscesses is diverse, with <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> being the predominant pathogen, followed by <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i>. Antibiotic resistance, particularly in MRSA, poses a significant challenge in treatment. Empiric antibiotic therapy should be tailored according to local resistance patterns to ensure effective treatment and reduce the risk of complications.
