Detection of Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii in Granulomatous Lobular Mastitis Using Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction and Sanger Sequencing on Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tissues

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT.—: Associations between granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) and Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii have been reported since 2002, but large-scale studies to assess the actual prevalence of this bacterium in GLM have not been performed. OBJECTIVE.—: To assess the prevalence of C kroppenstedtii in GLM using real-time polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. DESIGN.—: We analyzed formalin-fixed,...
