The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether oral administration of two Lactobacillus strains isolated from breast milk – L. salivarius CECT5713 and L. gasseri CECT5714, may be an alternative or a complement for treating staphylococcal lactational mastitis in cases in which previous antibiotherapy was unsuccessful. The conclusion of this study was that both Lactobacillus strains, L. salivarius CECT5713 and L. gasseri CECT5714, appear to be an efficient alternative for the treatment of lactational infectious mastitis during lactation.
