Bacterial identification with immunofluorescence. Using antibodies that cross react with multiple bacteria, bacteria could be detected on a majority of patient samples (7/10) including BIA-ALCL (n = 4) and control (n = 3) specimens. Patient 2’s samples are shown as a representative example. Additionally, patient implants 7 (BIA-ALCL) and 8 (double capsule, delayed seroma, no BIA-ALCL) were stained specifically for Staphylococci/Streptococci and Staphylococci/E. coli, respectively. The bacteria could be detected in both samples. Scale bars denote 0.5 cm.
