Hypothesis of the possible process of GLM development. This figure illustrates that fatty acids in the breast facilitate the infection of C. parakroppenstedtii, which subsequently secretes corynekropbactins. Corynekropbactins may then act as iron chelators, leading to the death of breast cells and other mammary-gland-colonizing-bacteria, and inducing the upregulation of IL-6. These multiple roles may contribute to the development of GLM
