Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Pasteurella multocida is a bacterium that can cause infections in humans.
  • Surveys in Japanese hospitals reveal an increasing incidence of Pasteurella multocida infections.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of Pasteurella multocida infections detected from sputum in Japanese hospitals.
  • To identify risk factors and patient demographics associated with these infections.

Summary:

  • A survey of 528 hospital laboratories in Japan identified 179 cases of Pasteurella multocida infections.
  • Infections were more common in elderly patients with underlying respiratory diseases.
  • Contact with animals was suggested as a potential transmission route, though often unknown.
