“…Leukocyte and neutrophil counts are typically high at the infection site, and inflammation develops very rapidly. In more severe cases, pasteurellosis can rapidly progress to bacteremia (fulminant sepsis) (41, 161,235,241,251,[256][257][258][259][260][261][262][263][264][265][266] and other complications such as osteomyelitis (inflammation of the bone) (155,165,(267)(268)(269), endocarditis (inflammation of the heart) (256,263,(270)(271)(272)(273)(274)(275)(276)(277)(278)(279)(280)(281)(282)(283)(284)(285), and meningitis (inflammation of the meninges) (53, 90, 159, 163, 165, 264, 286-293).…”

SUMMARY In a world where most emerging and reemerging infectious diseases are zoonotic in nature and our contacts with both domestic and wild animals abound, there is growing awareness of the potential for human acquisition of animal diseases. Like other Pasteurellaceae , Pasteurella species are highly prevalent among animal populations, where they are often found as part of the normal microbiota of the oral, nasopharyngeal, and upper respiratory tracts. Many Pasteurella species are opportunistic pathogens that can cause endemic disease and are associated increasingly with epizootic outbreaks. Zoonotic transmission to humans usually occurs through animal bites or contact with nasal secretions, with P. multocida being the most prevalent isolate observed in human infections. Here we review recent comparative genomics and molecular pathogenesis studies that have advanced our understanding of the multiple virulence mechanisms employed by Pasteurella species to establish acute and chronic infections. We also summarize efforts being explored to enhance our ability to rapidly and accurately identify and distinguish among clinical isolates and to control pasteurellosis by improved development of new vaccines and treatment regimens.

“…Like other forms of endocarditis, P. multocida IE is also associated with clinical manifestations including arterial emboli (18,22) and mycotic aneurysms (22). The infection appears to show no preference for the valves involved on the left side of the heart, with the aortic and mitral valves being affected nearly equally (13), and with the tricuspid and pulmonic valves having been affected in a patient after a cat bite (23) and in an intravenous drug user (24), respectively.…”

“…Cats and dogs are the main carriers of this organism in their mouths, whereas it is rare for it to be found naturally in humans (14). IE caused by P. multocida is a very rare manifestation (13,18). In the forty years since the first reports of this type of IE, there have been very few cases reported in the literature.…”

“…Pasteurella infection usually begins with a rapid onset of illness, and in an analysis of patients by Camou et al, high rates of mortality were reported in immunocompetent patients (40%) and immunosuppressed patients (up to 57%) (13). Immunosuppression is considered to be a risk factor for the infection.…”

“…P. multocida is a very rare cause of IE with very few cases having ever been described in the literature (13). P. multocida infection is usually associated with animal bites from cats and dogs, with these animals carrying this organism in their mouths, whereas it is rare for it to be carried by humans (14).…”

<i>Pasteurella multocida</i> Infective Endocarditis: A Possible Link with Primary Upper Respiratory Tract Infection

et al. 2015

A 50-year-old Japanese man presented with fever and upper respiratory tract symptoms that required urgent inpatient admission. A physical examination revealed conjunctival hemorrhages and peripheral embolic phenomena. Blood cultures grew Pasteurella multocida, and an echocardiography revealed a mitral valve vegetation suggestive of infective endocarditis (IE), which was confirmed using the Modified Duke Criteria. After several antibiotic regimens proved ineffective, valve replacement was performed, with a good eventual outcome. P. multocida IE is rare and may sometimes have no preceding risk factors. P. multocida infections of the upper respiratory tract are unusual but may be an inciting event for IE. It is essential to check blood cultures and to repeat the performance of physical examinations to appreciate the developing features of IE.
