“…Infections with Pasteurella requiring medical intervention commonly arise as a result of bite or scratch wounds from pets, predominantly cats and dogs (39, 41, 45, 48, 49, 155-157, 161, 240, 242, 243, 249-251, 254, 255, 257, 258, 267, 298-304), but also from other domestic animals (305)(306)(307)(308). Bite wound infections with Pasteurella tend to be highly aggressive with skin or soft tissue inflammation, erythema, local lymphadenopathy, fever, pain, and swelling often manifesting within 24 h, but they can present as early as 8 to 12 h (41, 48, 159,166,309).…”

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.

Guidelines for management of animal bitesBites caused by pets or free living animal, including the so called exotic ones are a common cause of medical care request, although its real dimension has not been well defined in the local setting. This paper reviews the epidemiology of the topic placing emphasis in the initial approach and recomendations for the management of dog and cat bites. Due to increasing ownership or contact with other animals, management of bites from hamsters, mice, ferrets, rabbits, prairie dogs, monkeys, bats, lizards and bird bites is also discussed.

“…Species of this bacterial genus are normal flora and important opportunistic pathogens of respiratory and genital tracks of animals and occasionally humans, particularly when immunocompromised (Harper et al, 2006). Of these, P. pneumotropica, a rodent pathogen, has been involved occasionally in human disease conditions such as septicemia (Jawetz, 1950;Frebourg et al, 2002) spinal cord abscess (Fernández-Fernández et al, 2011), endocarditis (Dan et al, 2005;Tirmizi et al, 2012), meningitis (Minton, 1990), peritonitis (Campos et al, 2000), osteomyelitis and arthritis (Gadberry et al, 1984) and pneumonia (Cuadrado-Gómez et al, 1995;Guillard et al, 2010).…”
