Deep sternal wound infection due to Pasteurella multocida: the first case report and review of literature

R Baillot et al. Infection. 2011 Dec.

Abstract

Pasteurella multocida is a Gram-negative bacterium recovered from a wide variety of wild and domestic animals and has mostly been associated with infection following animal bites. We present the first reported case of a patient who developed a postoperative sternal wound infection due to P. multocida complicated by bloodstream infection. The outcome was favorable following surgical debridement and antimicrobial therapy. We also review the literature regarding P. multocida postoperative wound infections.
