Abstract: resultados de CMI que determinaron un patrón de sensibilidad en todos ellos (según los puntos de corte de EUCAST). El paciente fue tratado con antibiótico de amplio espectro (piperacilina/tazobactam 4/05 g). Tras reinterrogar al paciente se descubre que, meses atrás, había acogido a un gato callejero que lo muerde y araña frecuentemente. P. multocida posee como factores de patogenicidad: cápsula (A, B, D, E y F como serogrupos capsulares), fimbrias de adhesión, proteínas de membrana externa, lipopolisacáridos … Show more

“…Skin and soft tissue infections are most frequently caused by bacteria of the genus Pasteurella , with Pasteurella multocida being the most prevalent species. The most severe infections usually occur in patients who are immunocompromised, with comorbidities, or at extreme ages of life [ 3 , 5 ]. P. canis has been also reported causing from mild to severe infections such as skin and soft tissue infections to bacteremia or osteomyelitis [ 6 , 7 ].…”

Pasteurella multocida is a germ known to present opportunistic pathologies in most cases associated with contact with animals or their secretions. Systemic infections are rare and tend to occur in patients with risk factors or those who have contact with animals. A case of P. multocida bacteremia is presented in a 76-year-old male patient from a rural area of the Colombian Caribbean who was admitted due to a neurological condition with no personal history and no relevant epidemiological data. His deterioration was torpid, and he died possibly from P. multocida.

Characterization of Resistance and Virulence of Pasteurella multocida Isolated from Pet Cats in South China

et al. 2022

Pasteurella multocida, one of the major zoonotic pathogens, may cause localized cellulitis, bacteremia, septic shock, and other symptoms in people. Accidental bites or scratches in close contact between humans and cats are one of the causes of P. multocida infection in humans. The prevalence of diseases due to P. multocida in humans may be rising as a result of the popularity of cat cafes in China. However, the epidemiology of P. multocida in cat-themed cafes in South China is yet to be reported. P. multocida in 92 healthy cats from four cafes with pet-cat themes was examined in their tonsils and oral cavities. The antibiotic susceptibility of each isolate was evaluated by using the disk-susceptibility testing method. The 19 P. multocida were selected for whole-genome sequencing (WGS), together with the genome data of eight previously described clinical strains isolated from humans, and the analysis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants, capsular genotyping, MLST genotyping, and virulence gene profiles was carried out. The results showed that 48.91% of cats (45/90) were positive for P. multocida. All isolated P. multocida stains were highly resistant to erythromycin (15 μg) (100%) and nonsensitive to fluoroquinolones (5 μg) (37.38%), while they were all susceptible to penicillin (10 untis), tetracycline (30 μg), doxycycline (30 μg), and chloramphenicol (30 μg). According to WGS analysis, those with the gyrA resistance gene were all insensitive to fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Virulence gene profiles showed that the genes pfhA, nanH, and plpB were practically all present in cats compared to humans. To conclude, increased antibiotic resistance, along with virulence factors, complicates the treatment of P. multocida infection. Thus, clinical treatment for P. multocida infection should be performed more cautiously.
