Pathophysiology
In lactational mastitis, it is likely that bacteria (often originating from the mouth of the infant) gain entry via cracks or fissures in the nipple surface.
Once the primary defenses are breached, organisms have an ideal culture environment in nutrient rich maternal milk leading to rapid replication.
Definition
inflammation of the mammary gland in the breast or udder, typically due to bacterial infection via a damaged nipple or teat.
