Human Pasteurella multocida Infection with Likely Zoonotic Transmission from a Pet Dog, Spain
Abstract:
We report a case of urinary tract infection caused by an unusual genotype (sequence type 211) of Pasteurella multocida associated with human infection. Molecular genetic analysis of P. multocida isolates obtained from the human patient and his pet strongly suggests a zoonotic transmission of this bacterium.
Insights
A rare Pasteurella multocida urinary tract infection was identified. Genetic analysis revealed an unusual genotype (sequence type 211), suggesting the infection spread from a pet to the human patient.
Area of Science:
- Microbiology
- Infectious Diseases
- Genetics
Background:
- Pasteurella multocida is a bacterium commonly found in animals.
- Human infections with P. multocida are typically associated with animal bites or scratches.
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by P. multocida are rare in humans.
