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.

Abstract

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.
