Wrist abscess due to drug-resistant Pasteurella multocida
Many cases of cat and dog bites are associated with Pasteurella spp. infections. Antimicrobial therapy usually entails a β-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitor combination such as amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. Drug resistance in human Pasteurella spp. infections has rarely been reported in literature. In thi...
