Gynaecological infections are frequent in women, particularly in young women during their reproductive time. Anatomophysiologically, Bartholin’s gland is greatly susceptible to infections and is characterised by an inherent polymicrobial population. In fact, gynaecological microbiota has a set of agents coming from the perianal region that colonise the vagina and, in particular, Bartholin’s gland. Taking this into account, infections caused by agents that do not belong to the genital microbiota are less frequent. Here, we describe a case of a 23-year-old young woman with an abscess in Bartholin’s gland caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.

“…Anaerobic bacteria have also been reported to be often involved (3,14). Chlamydia trachomatis has been identified in Bartholin's gland abscess (2,5,20). However, there are only a few reports on C. trachomatis causing bartholinitis (2,8), and the incidence of chlamydial bartholinitis has not been thoroughly studied.…”

Microbiology of Bartholin's Gland Abscess in Japan

This study was conducted to determine the current epidemiology concerning the causative organisms for Bartholin's gland abscess in Japan. Microbiological examination of 224 cases showed positive results in 219 cases and negative results in 5 cases. Of all of the bacterial isolates, 307 and 118 were aerobes and anaerobes, respectively. The most frequently isolated bacterium was Escherichia coli. Of the anaerobes, the most frequently isolated organism was Bacteroides species, followed by Prevotella species. The organisms related to respiratory infectious diseases, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae, including resistant bacteria, were sometimes involved between 2000 and 2004.

“…Only recently was the presence of C trachomatis demonstrated in a Bartholin's gland abscess for the first time. 6 We studied 63 consecutive cases of Bartholin's abscess with special attention to the possible presence of Ngonorrhoea and C trachomatis. Because the uterine cervix is, in a sense, the natural reservoir for those sexual transmitted diseases, bacteriological examination was performed of the Bartholin's abscess and also of the uterine cervix.…”
