Sepsis caused by Pasteurella

Endocarditis caused by Pasteurella multocida.

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...

Emphysematous Pyelonephritis Caused by Pasteurella multocida

Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare but life-threatening infection characterized by widespread necrosis and production of gas within the kidney. It is most often associated with Escherichia coli and Klebsiella infections. Predisposing factors almost invariably include diabetes mellitus with poor glucose control and also urinary obstruction.

Sepsis caused by Raoultella terrigena

Raoultella terrigena (previously known as Klebsiella terrigena) is a rarely encountered gram-negative bacterium and mainly reported as aquatic and soil organism. However, in 2007 the first human infection caused by this organism was reported in a 45-year-old patient who developed endocarditis due to R. terrigena post liver transplant. No other case reports of infections caused by this organism ...

Pasteurella multocida bacterial meningitis caused by contact with pigs

Pasteurella multocida belongs to the normal flora of the respiratory and digestive tract of many animals. Animal exposure is a considerable risk factor for Pasteurella infection. P. multocida is the most common cause of local infection after an animal bite but is an unusual cause of meningitis. We present a case of bacterial meningitis by P. multocida in a 37-year-old man who worked in a pig fa...
