Abstract Pasteurella multocida is a ubiquitous organism found in the oropharynx of healthy domestic animals, especially dogs and cats. It is most known as a human pathogen, reported after animal bite incidents. In atraumatic infections, Pasteurella has been associated with patients in an immunocompromised state, such as those with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, patients with known cirrhosis, or those with preexisting cavitary pulmonary lesions. It is rare to isolate Pasteurella in an immunocompetent patient without known trauma. Here, we present a case of Pasteurella multocida pneumonia, bacteremia, and septic shock in an individual without a history of an animal bite, with a review of relevant literature.

Uncommon Complication

Pasteurella multocida is a small, Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic coccobacillus that inhabits the normal microbiota of the respiratory tract of several animals, especially cats and dogs. By infecting humans, a wide range of clinical pictures can evolve varying from mild local cellulitis to more severe systemic diseases (e.g., meningitis, pneumonia, endocarditis, and bacteremia). Septic shock is an uncommon complication of P. multocida infection, with less than 100 cases reported in the literature. It is frequently associated with cirrhotic and immunocompromised individuals and rarely immunocompetent ones. Here, we present a case of Pasteurella multocida septic shock in an elderly man secondary to leg cellulitis with a review of the relevant literature.
