Abstract
A series of eleven patients had Pasteurella multocida infections following animal injuries, six dog bites, three cat bites, one cat scratch, and one opossum bite. All patients responded slowly but well to appropriate therapy. An extensive literature review revealed P multocida infections to be common, the incidence and recognition of the organism to be increasing, and the infections to be at times severe or even fatal.
