A 73-year-old female patient presented with Pasteurella multocida erysipelas-like cellulitis, bacteremia, and shock. The onset of the disease occurred 24 h after a cat bit her to the right lower leg. Initially, the picture of bacteremia and shock developed, with minimal local cellulitis. Pasteurella multocida grew in blood culture. A combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid was therapeuti...

Pasteurella multocida colonizes animal scratches and bites. This bacterium was described to cause sepsis or endocarditis mainly in immunocompromised patients. We report the case of a 92-year-old woman presenting at the Emergency Department with coma and fever a week after the bite of her cat. The cat bite was misdiagnosed at admission partly due to an underestimation of this event by the patien...

Pasteurella multocida is a Gram-negative bacteria found in the oropharynx of many domestic animals. P. multocida can cause a variety of human infections, but it remains a rare cause of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis. We describe a severe case of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis due to P. multocida infection caused by close contact with a cat.

Fowl cholera has caused significant economic losses in many poultry producing countries worldwide. In Malaysia, outbreaks of fowl are frequently reported and encountered different types productions. The objective this study was to characterise 13 avian Pasteurella multocida, isolated from Central Peninsular Malaysia the period between 2000 2018. isolates were subjected multiplex polymerase chai...

During one year period from 2010 to 2011 the samples from pneumonic animals were taken and transported to the laboratory. Pasteurella multocida were identified in 16.6% of animal by biochemical test. The high incidence of P. multocida was obtained in the south of Fars province, where the area was warm region. The Mean Death Time between the isolates was 12-18 and 19-24 hours. Only the capsular ...

Septicemic pasteurellosis caused by Pasteurella multocida is believed responsible for the deaths of 48 elk (Cervus elaphus) on the National Elk Refuge near Jackson, Wyoming (USA) during 1986 and 1987. Clinical signs included depression and salivation; necropsy findings included congestion and petechial and ecchymotic hemorrhages in lymph nodes, diaphragm, lungs and endocardium. Pasteurella mult...

Five groups of ten animals were vaccinated with a combined vaccine containing foot and mouth disease (FMD), rabies, Pasteurella multocida and Clostridium chauvoei antigens and individual component vaccines containing FMD, rabies, Pasteurella multocida and Clostridium chauvoei antigens, respectively. Serological response of the calves was assayed on days 21 and 90 post vaccination. There was no ...

in order to show the type and severity of gross and histopathologic lesions induce by vaccinal strain (serotype a1) of pateurella mulocida, ten four-week-old spf chickens were inoculated intramuscularly with 75 cfu of ( 0.5 ml of 10-7 dilution) bacterium. all birds died in less than 16 hours. no prominent gross lesions were observed in different organs. in microscopic examination, the most comm...

A supplemented 2% peptone broth is described for the detection of indole production by Pasteurella multocida. The 96 isolates of P. multocida that were utilized in this evaluation were indole positive within 18 to 24 h.
