is a non-spore forming gram-negative organism characterized morphologically as coccobacillus. It is frequently isolated from the nasopharynx of domestic and wild animals, and is the most common cause of soft-tissue infection in humans following bites or scratches from dogs and cats. It is easily overgrowth by other flora in the sputum and may be regularly overlook, as it resembles , , and . The five species that cause the majority of pasteurellosis are: , , , , and . is infrequently encounter in clinical settings, although it can cause disease in humans primarily through contact with animals or their mucous secretions. Furthermore, serves as an opportunistic pathogen in humans, especially in those with depressed immune system. In this report, and after extensive literature review, the authors described a patient with septic shock resulting from bacteremia without prior history of animal exposure.
是一种无芽孢形成的革兰氏阴性菌，形态学上为球杆菌。它经常从家畜和野生动物的鼻咽部分离出来，是人类被狗和猫咬伤或抓伤后软组织感染的最常见原因。它很容易被痰液中的其他菌群过度生长，并且可能经常被忽视，因为它与、和相似。引起大多数巴氏杆菌病的五个物种是：、、、和。在临床环境中很少遇到，尽管它主要通过与动物或其粘液分泌物接触可导致人类疾病。此外，在人类中作为机会致病菌，特别是在免疫系统低下的人群中。在本报告中，经过广泛的文献综述，作者描述了一名因菌血症导致感染性休克的患者，该患者既往无动物接触史。
