Prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by a Pasteurella dagmatis-like isolate originating from a patient's cat

J Clin Microbiol. 2012 Aug;50(8):2818-9. doi: 10.1128/JCM.00973-12. Epub 2012 Jun 6.

Abstract

Pasteurella species are part of the oral flora of cats and dogs. In humans, they are frequently found in infected animal bite wounds, but invasive infections are rare. This is the first report of prosthetic-valve endocarditis with a Pasteurella dagmatis-like species, which originated from the patient's cat.
