“…Immunologic phenomena in IE by Pasteurella spp. were present in 17.9%, which is a rate similar to the one noted in other studies with IE by non-HACEK Gram-negative bacteria, where that rate ranged from 8% to 27% [ 59 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 ]. Immunologic phenomena more commonly included glomerulonephritis and petechiae.…”

“…In patients with IE in general, fever was noted in 84%, and shock was diagnosed in 9% [ 10 , 11 ]. A diagnosis of heart failure occurred with 21.4% of patients with IE by Pasteurella spp., which is similar to the rate in cases of non-HACEK Gram-negative IE, which ranged from 8% to 39.3% [ 59 , 61 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 ], and lower than the rate noted in IE in general, which was between 33% and 52% [ 10 , 70 ].

“…The age at diagnosis of IE in the general cohorts of IE patients was higher, close to 70 years [ 8 , 10 , 11 , 70 ]. There were more male patients than female among patients with IE by Pasteurella spp., as was also the case with IE by other non-HACEK Gram-negative microorganisms and in other cohorts of patients with IE in the general population [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 59 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ]. A prosthetic valve was present in 21.4% of patients with IE by Pasteurella spp., which was a rate similar to that noted in other studies of IE by non-HACEK Gram-negative bacteria (14% to 59%) and similar to the rate noted in cohorts of patients with IE in general [ 10 , 11 , 59 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ].…”

“…The most common symptom regarding clinical presentation was fever, present in 96.3% of patients, while 81.5% of patients developed sepsis, and 21.4% developed septic shock. In other studies with IE by non-HACEK Gram-negative bacteria, fever was present in 90.5% to 100% of patients [ 59 , 61 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 69 ], and sepsis was noted in 39% to 84.6% [ 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 69 ], while septic shock was noted in up to 30% [ 64 , 65 , 68 , 69 ].

Pasteurella spp. are non-motile, facultative anaerobic, Gram-negative coccobacilli that are commonly found in the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract of some animals and are known to be the cause of infections. Usually, infections by Pasteurella spp. in humans is more common in the context of an animal bite leading to a skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI). Infective endocarditis (IE) is rarely caused by Pasteurella spp.; however, it can pose diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas due to its rarity. The aim of the present study was to systematically review all cases of IE by Pasteurella spp. in the literature. A systematic review was performed of PubMed, Scopus and the Cochrane Library (through 20 December 2021) for studies providing data on epidemiology and clinical and microbiological characteristics as well as data on treatment and outcomes of IE by Pasteurella spp. A total of 28 studies containing data for 28 patients were included. Prosthetic valve was present in 21.4% of patients. The aorta was the most commonly involved intracardiac site. Fever, sepsis, septic shock and heart failure were the most common clinical presentations. Cephalosporins, aminopenicillins and penicillin were the antimicrobials used most commonly. Overall mortality was 17.9%.
