    Household dogs may transmit Pasteurella multocida to infants through non-bite related contact, such as facial licking. This can cause meningitis, though both infants in this study recovered fully.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Pasteurella multocida is a common bacterium found in the respiratory tracts of domestic animals like cats and dogs.
    • Human infections typically occur after animal bites, but non-bite related transmission is less common.

    Observation:

    • Two infants developed Pasteurella multocida meningitis.
    • Infection was likely acquired through non-traumatic facial licking by pet dogs, not through bites.
    • Both infants experienced a full recovery from the infection.

    Findings:

    • This case series highlights a rare but potential transmission route of Pasteurella multocida from pets to infants.
    • Nontraumatic oral or mucous membrane contact with infected animals can lead to severe systemic infections in infants.

  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes in neonatal meningitis.

    • Implications:

    • Healthcare providers should consider animal contact, including non-bite related interactions, when diagnosing infections in infants.
    • Parents should be educated about the potential risks of close contact between infants and household pets.
    • Further research is needed to understand the prevalence and risk factors associated with non-bite transmitted Pasteurella multocida infections in infants.
