“…This maltose-positive characteristic was stable upon repeat testing. Heddleston and Wessman (11) also suggested that all strains of human origin fermented mannitol, whereas the results of this study and others (8,12,18,21) are at variance with these findings.…”

“…Physiological and biochemical differences have been documented among strains of P. multocida recovered from various animal species (10)(11)(12)18). Isolates initially categorized on the basis of fermentative reactions in various carbohydrates were also obtained from many different animal hosts, especially fowl (4,5).…”

Fifty-two isolates of Pasteurella (48 strains of Pasteurella multocida and 4 strains of atypical Pasteurella) were identified by conventional and commercial test systems. All strains fermented glucose, sucrose, and fructose in purple broth base (Difco Laboratories) with bromocresol purple as indicator, although the atypical Pasteurella produced fermentation reactions that were barely perceptible. Eleven different biotypes were identified by fermentation reactions in maltose, mannitol, xylose, sorbitol, and trehalose media. There was a correlation of biotypes to cat bites, with 61% of cat bite isolates falling into biotype A and B. A correlation of biotype and dog bite isolates was not seen. The choice of medium used for fermentation tests was critical as evidenced by the inability of the organisms to grow in a second commercially purchased preparation of purple broth base. The reliability of commercial test systems in identifying Pasteurella was 81% for Oxi/Ferm (Roche Diagnostics, Div. Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc., Nutley, N.J.), 68% for API (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.), and 11% for Minitek (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, MD.).

“…Contiguous osteomyelitis was reported in 3 patients (5,8). Ten of the 14 cases involved significant exposure to cats (6)(7)(8)10,(13)(14)(15). The organism was sensitive to penicillin in all instances except 1 (7).…”

“…Although both P rnultocida and S sanguis were grown from the joint tissues from this patient, we believe that the primary infective agent was probably P multocida and that S sanguis was introduced secondarily at the time of injection of corticosteroids 10 days before admission to Scripps. This belief is based on the fact that there have been no previous reports of septic arthritis due to S sanguis, but there have been 14 cases due to P multocida (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). The first case was reported in 1944 (4) in a patient with a P multocida bacteremia.…”

HIS REPORT describes 2 patients with T rheumatoid arthritis in whom septic arthritis of the knee followed a relatively minor cat scratch of the lower leg. Pasturella multocidu was the causative organism in both cases and was found in the saliva of one of the pets involved. The clinical manifestations of infection by this unusual organism will be discussed, and distinguishing features of the bacteriology and epidemiology will be presented. CASE STUDIES Case Number 1A 53-year-old white secretary with rheumatoid arthritis was admitted to the Clinical Center for the first time on May 16, 1966 with complaints of fever, chills, nausea and vomiting of three days' duration. Rheumatoid arthritis involving symmetrically both small and large joints had been present for 18 years. She had been on continuous steroid therapy for 15 years with a current dosage of 9 mg. prednisone per day.Five weeks earlier she had been scratched on her right leg by her cat. A week later one of the scratches became reddened, angry and drained pus. She received a broad spectrum antibiotic for 5 days; the exact drug could not be recalled.
