Article Synopsis
- - Mastitis is a common issue for breastfeeding women, often linked to bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, but this study considers coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) as an alternative cause.
- - Researchers analyzed breast milk samples from 20 women with mastitis and 16 without, using gene sequencing and RAPD analysis to identify bacterial species and strain variations.
- - The findings showed that most CoNS isolates were Staphylococcus epidermidis, with 33 unique profiles identified through RAPD analysis, but no specific profile was linked to mastitis.
