Abstract

We investigated the management of Actinomyces breast infection. Eight different Actinomyces species were isolated from 26 patients during the study period (December 2018–November 2021). All tested isolates were susceptible (at standard or high dose) to penicillin and 75 % to clindamycin. Twenty-three patients had a history of smoking. Three had coexisting breast cancer. Prescribers need to be educated about the lack of activity of metronidazole on Actinomyces.

放线菌引起乳腺感染的调查

我们探讨放线菌乳腺感染的处理。在研究期间（2018年12月- 2021年11月），从26例患者中分离到8种不同的放线菌。所有检测的分离株（在标准或高剂量下）对青霉素敏感，75%对克林霉素敏感。23名患者有吸烟史。其中3人同时患有乳腺癌。开处方者需要了解甲硝唑对放线菌缺乏活性。

期刊介绍： Anaerobe is essential reading for those who wish to remain at the forefront of discoveries relating to life processes of strictly anaerobes. The journal is multi-disciplinary, and provides a unique forum for those investigating anaerobic organisms that cause infections in humans and animals, as well as anaerobes that play roles in microbiomes or environmental processes. Anaerobe publishes reviews, mini reviews, original research articles, notes and case reports. Relevant topics fall into the broad categories of anaerobes in human and animal diseases, anaerobes in the microbiome, anaerobes in the environment, diagnosis of anaerobes in clinical microbiology laboratories, molecular biology, genetics, pathogenesis, toxins and antibiotic susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria.
