Abstract

Actinomyces radingae is a rare isolate in clinical specimens. We describe a case of a postmenopausal woman presenting
with a breast abscess caused by A. radingae. To our knowledge, this is the second description of a case of a breast
infection due to this pathogen. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2016;6(2): 84-86
