Initiation of Metastatic Breast Carcinoma by Targeting of the Ductal Epithelium with Adenovirus-Cre: A Novel Transgenic Mouse Model of Breast Cancer

23.9K
Activation of latent mutations with adenovirus-Cre into the mammary ductal system results in a clinically relevant metastatic breast cancer. Incorporation of a YFP promoter allows tracking of distal metastatic tumor cells. This model is useful to study latent metastasis, anti-tumor immunity, and for designing novel immunotherapies to treat breast...

Long-term Culture of Human Breast Cancer Specimens and Their Analysis Using Optical Projection Tomography

15.7K
We have developed a collagen-based in vitro assay which promotes proliferation and invasion from samples of all breast cancer subtypes. Optical Projection Tomography, a three dimensional microscopy technique was utilised to visualise and quantify tumour expansion. This assay may be used to quantify drug response of individual tumour...

Summary

Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a rare cause of nonlactational mastitis, can lead to abscesses. Early detection and appropriate antimicrobial treatment are crucial for successful outcomes in patients with nipple piercings.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Mastitis, an inflammation of the breast tissue, typically affects lactating women.
  • Nonlactational mastitis is less common and can be associated with various risk factors.
  • Nipple piercings and oral-to-breast contact are potential, though uncommon, risk factors for specific infections.

Observation:

  • A 32-year-old woman presented with symptoms of mastitis and abscess unresponsive to standard antibiotic therapy.
  • The patient had a history of nipple piercing and oral-to-breast contact.
  • Needle aspiration and subsequent culture revealed Neisseria gonorrhoeae as the causative agent.

Findings:

  • Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an uncommon pathogen responsible for nonlactational mastitis and breast abscess.
  • The patient demonstrated treatment failure with empiric antimicrobials but responded well to targeted therapy with ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering N. gonorrhoeae in specific clinical contexts.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for gonococcal infections in nonlactational mastitis, especially in patients with risk factors like nipple piercings.
  • Prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential to prevent treatment failure and potential complications.
  • Antimicrobial stewardship and awareness of rising antimicrobial resistance are critical in managing such infections.
