Abstract

Pasteurellosis is reported after animal biting, particularly cats bites with Pasteurella multocida being the predominant isolate. Among others, Pasteurella dagmatis is rarely reported, causing cellulitis but is also associated with other more severe systemic infections, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. We described here the case of a cellulitis caused by Pasteurella dagmatis and multocida.
