[Pasteurella multocida: infections in man]
Antibiotiki I Khimioterapiia = Antibiotics and Chemoterapy [Sic]
|January 1, 1997
Abstract:
The literature data on human infection due to a representative of the genus Pasteurella, i.e. P. multocida are reviewed: the main clinical forms and signs of pasteurellosis, the results of the studies on susceptibility of P. multocida to antibiotics and chemotherapeutics and the results of their use in the treatment of the infection.
Insights
Pasteurella multocida infections in humans are reviewed, detailing clinical signs and effective antibiotic treatments. This summary aids in understanding and managing pasteurellosis, a significant zoonotic disease.
Area of Science:
- Microbiology
- Infectious Diseases
- Zoonotic Infections
Context:
- Pasteurella multocida is a common bacterium in animal respiratory tracts.
- Human infections often result from animal bites or scratches.
- Pasteurellosis represents a significant public health concern.
Purpose:
- To review current literature on human Pasteurella multocida infections.
- To outline the clinical manifestations and diagnostic approaches.
- To evaluate the efficacy of antimicrobial agents against P. multocida.
Summary:
- P. multocida causes various human infections, including respiratory, wound, and systemic diseases.
- Susceptibility patterns indicate varying responses to different antibiotics and chemotherapeutics.
- Treatment outcomes highlight the importance of appropriate antimicrobial selection.
Impact:
- Informs clinical decision-making for pasteurellosis management.
- Provides a basis for antimicrobial stewardship in treating P. multocida infections.
- Contributes to understanding the epidemiology and treatment of this zoonotic pathogen.
