Pasteurella ureae Endocarditis.

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis caused by Pasteurella ureae.

Pasteurella ureae is uncommonly isolated from patients and rarely causes disease. The case of a patient with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis caused by P. ureae is described and contrasted with other reported cases of P. ureae colonization and infection. Respiratory colonization has been described in older patients, predominantly men, with underlying lung disease consisting principally of bron...

Pasteurella haemolytica var. ureae from human sputum.

A new variety of Pasteurella, named by Henriksen and Jyssum (1960, 1961) Past. haemolytica var. ureae, has been isolated from the sputum of 17 patients, most of them elderly, suffering from chronic bronchitis or bronchiectasis. It has also been found in the normal respiratory tract. Whether the organism aggravates the disease or acts as a mere commensal when growing in the damaged tissue is not...

Pasteurella multocida endocarditis.

Rifampicin is a potent inducer of hepatic microsomal enzymes and increases the oxidation of cortisol to 63-hydroxycortisol.2 As the major pathway of cortisol metabolism involving tetrahydroreduction of the A ring is not thought to be altered this increased utilisation usually represents only a small percentage of the cortisol produced in patients with normal adrenal function. In patients with p...

Pasteurella pneumonia: report of a case and review of the literature.

A case of pneumonia due to Pasturella ureae was encountered in a 57-year-old man who developed bilateral pulmonary infiltrates and respiratory insufficiency while convalescing in the hospital from a hip fracture and multiple rib fractures. Cultures of his sputum grew an essentially pure growth of Pasturella ureae. This organism, a small gram-negative rod, could be differentiated from the other ...
