Pasteurella multocida septicemia and subsequent Pasteurella dagmatis septicemia in a diabetic patient

C J Fajfar-Whetstone et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1995 Jan.

Abstract

Pasteurella species may cause zoonotic infections of humans. Serious systemic infections with these organisms are unusual, but they may occur in individuals with predisposing underlying illnesses. Occurrences of bacteremia due to P. multocida are infrequent, and P. dagmatis bacteremia is even rarer. We report independent occurrences of P. multocida and P. dagmatis septicemia in the same diabetic patient after contact with two pet dogs. We review the history of Pasteurella species and discuss the biochemical and clinical features of its association with zoonosis.
