“…10 There is a suggestion that patients with pasteurella PD peritonitis were generally more symptomatic with fever, nausea, vomiting and severe abdominal pain, when compared to other cases of PD peritonitis. 6 Although our patient had abdominal pain, she was not otherwise clinically unwell. In addition, many of the reported cases were in patients using cycling devices, reasons for which are not clear.…”

It is likely that the infection resulted from a domestic cat, as there was evidence of a cat bite to the dialysis tubing in the period between the two episodes. Re-infection with two identical strains of pasteurella is more probable than relapse, for reasons discussed. Strict hygiene and avoiding contact between dialysis tubing and domestic animals must be emphasised to try to prevent pasteurella and other animal-associated infections in this already vulnerable population.

This is particularly the case if there is a history of exposure to pets.…”

Pasteurella multocida: from Zoonosis to Cellular Microbiology

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.

“…Pasteurella sepsis, however, is rare. The organism has been reported to cause peritonitis in patients with peritoneal dialysis catheters (20,21), pneumonia, and empyema in alcoholics and persons with diabetes (22,23), infection in patients with knee or hip replacements (24), and even meningitis (25,26).…”

Acute Suppurative Thyroiditis Caused byPasteurella multocidaand Associated with Thyrotoxicosis

Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST) is an uncommon condition of the thyroid gland. Organisms of the staphylococcal and streptococcal species are the most commonly reported causative agents. Rarely, AST has been associated with transient hyperthyroidism. We report a unique case of AST that was caused by Pasteurella multocida and was associated with thyrotoxicosis in a previously healthy 51-year-old woman.
