Pasteurella multocida is a rare cause of infective endocarditis with only a few cases described. This report involves a 38-year-old penicillin-allergic patient in an immunocompromised state with several co-morbidities. Two molecular microbiological techniques, 16S rRNA sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry were used to confirm the species identification as P. multocida. Previous reports in the literature are also reviewed.
多杀巴斯德菌是感染性心内膜炎的罕见病因，仅有少数病例报道。本报告涉及一名38岁的青霉素过敏患者，该患者处于免疫功能低下状态且患有多种合并症。采用两种分子微生物学技术，即16S rRNA测序和基质辅助激光解吸/电离飞行时间质谱法，以确认该菌种为多杀巴斯德菌。本文还对文献中的既往报道进行了综述。
