Pasteurellosis

Pasteurellosis is a zoonotic bacterial infection caused by species of the genus *Pasteurella*, most predominantly *Pasteurella multocida*, which naturally colonize the oral cavity and respiratory tracts of domestic and wild animals Humans are typically infected through animal bites, scratches, or contact with secretions, commonly resulting in acute skin and soft tissue manifestations such as rapidly progressing cellulitis, pain, swelling, and purulent drainage within 24 hours of exposure

While most infections remain localized, the organism can invade deeper structures to cause tenosynovitis, osteomyelitis, or septic arthritis, and can progress to severe systemic disease—including pneumonia, bacteremia, and meningitis—particularly in immunocompromised individuals, neonates, the elderly, or patients with underlying chronic liver or pulmonary disease
