Possible variants of the clinical course, clinical and epidemiological data, on the basis of which pasteurellosis can be suspected, modern recommendations for antibiotic therapy are considered.

Infective Endocarditis by Pasteurella Species: A Systematic Review. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11175037. [PMID: 36078964 PMCID: PMC9456824 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11175037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Pasteurella spp. are non-motile, facultative anaerobic, Gram-negative coccobacilli that are commonly found in the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract of some animals and are known to be the cause of infections. Usually, infections by Pasteurella spp. in humans is more common in the context of an animal bite leading to a skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI). Infective endocarditis (IE) is rarely caused by Pasteurella spp.; however, it can pose diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas due to its rarity. The aim of the present study was to systematically review all cases of IE by Pasteurella spp. in the literature. A systematic review was performed of PubMed, Scopus and the Cochrane Library (through 20 December 2021) for studies providing data on epidemiology and clinical and microbiological characteristics as well as data on treatment and outcomes of IE by Pasteurella spp. A total of 28 studies containing data for 28 patients were included. Prosthetic valve was present in 21.4% of patients. The aorta was the most commonly involved intracardiac site. Fever, sepsis, septic shock and heart failure were the most common clinical presentations. Cephalosporins, aminopenicillins and penicillin were the antimicrobials used most commonly. Overall mortality was 17.9%.

Abstract
Pasteurella multocida is a small Gram-negative organism that usually causes a localized infection after exposure to cat or dog scratches, bites, or licking wounds. Invasive infections, such as bacteremia and endocarditis, are very rare yet serious conditions that are associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients with major comorbidities. Here, we report a case of a 47-year-old male who presented to the hospital with altered mental status two weeks after a fall and was found to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Further workup revealed Pasteurella multocida bacteremia and infective endocarditis. The patient had a complex hospital course with septic shock and acute congestive heart failure with poor clinical outcomes. A comprehensive review of the literature of all reported cases of definite Pasteurella endocarditis follows.

Unexpected clinical case of Pasteurella multocida infectious endocarditis in a patient with iv drug abuse: why epidemiological history matters. Germs 2022; 12:130-136. [PMID: 35601946 PMCID: PMC9113684 DOI: 10.18683/germs.2022.1316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2021] [Revised: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 10/28/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Right-sided lesions caused by staphylococci are the most common clinical entity of infectious endocarditis (IE) among iv drug abusers. But some aspects of the epidemiological history are critical in terms of early detection of uncommon pathogens. CASE REPORT We describe a clinical observation of native aortic valve IE caused by Pasteurella multocida in a 37-year-old female with a history of heroin addiction, alcohol abuse and liver cirrhosis.She presented herself at our hospital with acute fever, chills, subconjunctival petechial hemorrhages, traces of scratches on the hands, splenomegaly, peripheral edema, elevated WBC and inflammatory serum markers. Initial transthoracic echocardiography was negative, but the patient was put on oxacillin for suspected right-sided IE. The transesophageal echocardiography revealed vegetation on noncoronary leaflet of aortic valve. Blood culture was positive with the growth of P. multocida in 4/4 samples.On detailed questioning, a close domestic contact with cats was revealed. Oxacillin was switched to meropenem and tigecycline with a prompt clinical response. The P. multocida isolate was found to be susceptible to penicillins, so the patient was discharged after 3 weeks with recommendations to take amoxicillin for up to 4 weeks. At 3 and 6 months follow-up there were no signs of IE relapse revealed. CONCLUSIONS P. multocida is a rare causative agent of IE. In our case, this pathogen was identified in a patient with injection drug use, where such etiology is not usually assumed. The close contact with cats was not taken into account, which caused late diagnosis and delayed therapy.

Abstract
Background: There is a paucity of evidence regarding optimal management of Pasteurella spp. endocarditis. The authors report the first case of Pasteurella spp. endocarditis with septic arthritis and review the literature.
Case Description: A 79-year-old patient with significant comorbidities, including prosthetic aortic valve, was admitted with left knee swelling, fever, and confusion, having been scratched by a cat 2-weeks prior. At presentation, there was a metallic click, a Grade 3 pan-systolic murmur and Grade 1 flow murmur audible on auscultation. Blood and synovial fluid cultures both isolated Pasteurella multocida, identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation–time of flight, which was sensitive to penicillin according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST); minimum inhibitory concentration: 0.094). The patient underwent joint washout and received intravenous piperacillin/tazobactam for 3 days before switching to benzylpenicillin once sensitivities were known. Due to continued pyrexia, a transthoracic echocardiogram was obtained, which revealed a small mobile mass on a thickened mitral valve suspicious for a vegetation. On review by the Infective Endocarditis team, conservative management was deemed best, given the presence of comorbidities. Despite requiring further joint washout due to persistent knee pain, the patient was successfully treated with 8 weeks of antibiotic therapy (24 days of benzylpenicillin monotherapy, 2 weeks of benzylpenicillin and ciprofloxacin, and 15 days ciprofloxacin monotherapy).
Discussion: Previous literature reviews report a higher mortality of Pasteurella spp. endocarditis when managed without cardiac surgery, thus recommending surgery in all cases. The authors found these to have confounding factors, including inadequate duration of antimicrobials, aortic root abscess, and rapid progression to death. The authors’ case of Pasteurella spp. endocarditis, complicated by septic arthritis, showed successful therapy without cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Pasteurella species (spp.) are pleomorphic, Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacilli commonly found in the upper respiratory tract and oral cavities of wild and domesticated animals such as dogs and cats. Pasteurella spp. infections in humans are typically caused by animal bites or scratches, or other inadvertent exposure of an open skin lesion to oral secretions of the animal. While skin and soft tissue infections are relatively common, respiratory infections, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, meningitis, and mycotic aneurysms have also been documented. To date, nine cases of mycotic aneurysms caused by Pasteurella spp. have been reported. However, only one of those cases has involved a cerebral mycotic aneurysm, and it had a fatal outcome. This report describes a successfully managed Pasteurella cerebral mycotic aneurysm that had occurred as a complication of underlying mitral valve endocarditis.
