    Pasteurella multocida commonly causes human disease. This report details a rare case of vertebral osteomyelitis, discitis, and paravertebral abscess caused by this bacterium.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Bacteriology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Pasteurella multocida is a Gram-negative bacterium known to cause various infections in humans, including respiratory tract infections, wound infections, and sepsis.
    • While commonly associated with animal bites and scratches, P. multocida can also cause spontaneous infections in immunocompetent individuals.
    • Previous literature extensively documents diverse clinical presentations of human pasteurellosis, but specific spinal infections are less common.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms indicative of a spinal infection.
    • Diagnostic imaging revealed vertebral osteomyelitis, discitis, and a paravertebral abscess.

    Findings:

    • Cultures from the affected site confirmed the presence of Pasteurella multocida as the causative agent.

  • This represents a novel presentation of P. multocida infection involving the spine, to our knowledge.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the spectrum of known clinical syndromes caused by P. multocida.
    • Highlights the importance of considering P. multocida in the differential diagnosis of spinal infections, even in the absence of typical exposure history.
    • Suggests the need for broader microbiological investigations in complex infectious cases.
