Corynebacterium accolens isolated from breast abscess: possible association with granulomatous mastitis

Lei M N Ang et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2007 May.

Abstract

Corynebacterium accolens is rarely isolated as a human pathogen. We describe here a case of C. accolens isolated from a breast abscess in a patient previously diagnosed with granulomatous mastitis. The possible association of Corynebacterium accolens and granulomatous mastitis in this patient is discussed.
