Case presentation: We describe the second reported case of recurrent breast infection caused by Gordonia bronchialis in an immunocompetent patient. Conclusions: Careful observation of the Gram stain from the abscess raised suspicion, and final identification was achieved with 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. , UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmmcr/10.1099/jmmcr.0.001248
