“…Patients with underlying diseases that contribute to an immunocompromised condition, such as cirrhosis (liver dysfunction) (39, 43, 241, 244, 249, 255-257, 260, 262, 263, 265, 266, 273, 275-280, 292, 312, 314, 316, 317, 321, 322, 328, 329, 335, 337, 345-359), renal failure (kidney dysfunction requiring dialysis or indwelling catheters) (253,267,300,302,303,318,324,326,327,(360)(361)(362)(363)(364)(365)(366), or HIV-positive status (especially if taking immunosuppressive drugs or experiencing other disease conditions) (290,310,315,(367)(368)(369), have an increased risk of peritonitis, endocarditis, and/or septicemia caused by P. multocida. This is particularly the case if there is a history of exposure to pets.…”

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.

“…There are several reviews regarding single infective agents and numerous case reports involving pet-related peritonitis (1-12). A recent International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis position statement review emphasizes the importance of inquiring about ownership of pets and patient education on handling of pets for PD patients (4).…”

“…Infectious peritonitis is a major complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), accounting for considerable mortality and morbidity of PD patients. Although the usual organisms associated with peritonitis are Staphylococci aureus, Staphylococci epidermidis, Pseudomonas species and other gram-negatives, peritonitis due to zoonotic organisms in the context of close contact with companion animals has been reported in literatures (1-12). On a literature review, 124 cases of peritonitis caused by 12 different zoonotic agents have been reported in PD patients.…”
