| Popis: |
Pasteurella canis is a Gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacterium that is a typical commensal of the oral cavity and enteric tract of domestic animals. Human infections caused by this species are most often associated with dog bites and rarely with other animal bites. In this report, we present a case of a 34-year-old man who developed P. canis soft tissue infection of the left hand after a cat bite. The patient was successfully treated by a surgical intervention and antibiotics. The species identification of the isolate was performed by a conventional automatic system and nucleic acid-based methods. The nucleic acid-based methods provide a powerful alternative to the conventional microbiological diagnostic of these bacteria. |
