“…However, more recent data show that the spectrum of potential pathogens is much broader and that only 15 to 20% of dog bite wound harbor P. multocida (7,8,13). The isolate recovered from our patient therefore reinforces the concept that the spectrum of pig bite pathogens also may be broad and could include unusual bacteria from the normal flora of the host.…”

An unusual gram-negative rod (RMA 1571) was isolated from a hand infection following a pig bite. This unclassified isolate was characterized by growth requirements, microscopic examination, biochemical characteristics, antimicrobial susceptibility tests, and cellular fatty acid analysis. It was indole positive and produced yellow-pigmented growth, which placed it in the genus Flavobacterium, but its other features, including cellular fatty acid analysis, did not appear to be those of a named species.

“…A majority of Pasteurella infections are related to animal bites, though exposure without biting or scratching and even the absence of any exposure has been described [6][7][8]. Spontaneous peritonitis has been mentioned, most often in patients with underlying cirrhosis of the liver or with a history of ethanol addiction [9][10][11].…”

“… 23 However, other Gram-negative microorganisms are also present, including Pseudomonas multocida . 24 , 25 No antibiotic can eliminate all potential contaminating microorganisms, and it is often necessary to use different antibiotics to successfully combat infection. However, penicillins have been suggested as the first choice of antibiotics.…”

Summary:Facial fractures due to dog attacks have an unknown incidence rate. To date, only 41 cases of canine bite trauma in a pediatric patient, associated with facial fracture, have been reported in the literature. As major species of involving dogs are the American pitbull terrier and rottweiler. Due to the intense kinematics of this trauma, the treatment becomes complex. Thus, attention to the primary repair of such complex lesions ensures satisfactory results, which is the focus of this discussion. The purpose of this review was to analyze how different ways to approach this type of trauma in children for clarification or correct management. In addition, we address the treatment plan of a complex case of panfacial fracture by a canine bite in a 4-year-old patient. According to a review addressed, the main involved are orbit, nasal, and zygomatic. Antibiotic therapy is indicated for infected bite wounds and wounded considerations at risk of infection, with high complexity and when involving important structures such as bones, vessels, and joints. The state of tetanus immunization and the risk of rabies infection should be routinely addressed in the management of the bite wound.
