Overview
Breast abscess is a bacterial infectious disease that is caused by many bacterial pathogens and it may also be caused by fungi mostly common candida through the infant mouth. The most common bacterial pathogen causing breast abscess is the staphylococcus aureus. It is almost caused by the same pathogens causing mastitis. To understand the common species causing breast abscess we can classify them into gram positive and gram negative bacteria. [1][2][3]
