Article Abstract

which are known as rapidly growing bacteria, are pathogens that are responsible for cutaneous or subcutaneous infections that especially occur after injection, trauma, or surgery. In this report, we describe a species of that was isolated from a breast abscess in a patient who was previously diagnosed with granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM). This current case is the first ever presented case of GLM associated with documented in South China. The case presentation highlights the role of in GLM. The association of and GLM is discussed and a summary of breast infection due to is given.

Objectives: To explore the risk factors that are associated to the recurrence of granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) after treatment and to develop a nomogram model that can predict the risk of recurrence.

Methods: Medical records and follow-up data from GLM patients treated at our facility were retrospectively analyzed. In order to identify independent risk factors for GLM recurrence, the patients were split into groups with and without recurrence using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.

species are a diverse group of organisms historically considered to be non-pathogenic, outside of the complex. Over the last few decades, this belief has been disproven with many notable non-diphtheriae species being found to be pathogenic, often in certain clinical scenarios and/or anatomical sites. and are responsible for a large portion of bloodstream infections and orthopedic infections related to coryneform Gram-positive rods (GPRs).

Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM), a clinically challenging inflammatory breast disease, is characterized by a high recurrence rate, strong invasiveness, and a trend of affecting younger individuals, posing significant challenges to patients and clinical practitioners. Its pathological processes involve the abnormal activation of multiple signaling pathways, including NF-κB, NLRP3, JAK/STAT, TLR, MAPK, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and Nrf2/HO-1. These pathways contribute to the disease's onset and progression by regulating inflammatory responses, immune reactions, and oxidative stress.
