Neonatal bacterial meningitis caused by Pasteurella multocida is rare. This study identified household cats as the infection source in a neonatal case using molecular fingerprinting.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Medicine
- Neonatal Infectious Diseases
- Microbiology
Background:
- Pasteurella multocida is an opportunistic pathogen.
- Neonatal meningitis is a severe infection with high morbidity and mortality.
- While common in animals, Pasteurella multocida is an infrequent cause of human meningitis, especially in neonates.
