Bacteremia with Bacteroides pyogenes after a cat bite.

ABSTRACT: Animal bite wounds are often infected with bacteria from the animal's oral flora. We report what we believe to be the first case of bacteremia with Bacteroides pyogenes resulting from an infected cat bite.

Diabetic Foot Infection with Bacteroides pyogenes.

Project description:>Diabetic foot infections are the most common serious diabetes-related complication posing significant socioeconomic burden on the health-care system. Diabetic foot microbiota consists of polymicrobial flora with predominance of Gram-negative aerobes and anaerobes. Here, we report a rare case of diabetic foot infection by Bacteroides pyogenes, an obligate Gram-negative anaerobic bacillus which is commonly encountered in polymicrobial animal bite wound infections.

Characterization of sucrose-negative Pasteurella multocida variants, including isolates from large-cat bite wounds.

Project description:To validate the identification of Pasteurella multocida-like bacteria negative for acid formation from sucrose, including isolates from bite wounds caused by large cats, 17 strains were phenotypically and genotypically characterized. Phylogenetic analysis of partially sequenced rpoB and infB genes showed the monophyly of the strains characterized and the reference strains of P. multocida. The sucrose-negative strains formed two groups, one related to reference strains of P. multocida and the other related to a separate species-like group (taxon 45 of Bisgaard). DNA-DNA hybridization further documented the species-like nature of this group. Ribotyping showed the heterogeneity of all strains except four strains that shared the same ribotype and that were isolated from bovine lungs. Phylogenetic analysis by 16S rRNA sequence comparison showed the monophyly of the strains characterized and the reference strains of P. multocida. Two strains isolated from leopard bite wounds were related to the type strain of P. dagmatis; however, they represented a new taxon (taxon 46 of Bisgaard), in accordance with their distinct phenotypic and genotypic identifications. The present study documents that sucrose-negative strains of P. multocida-like bacteria belong to two genotypically distinct groups. The study further confirms the phenotypic heterogeneity of P. multocida strains and documents two new species-like taxa of Pasteurella related to P. multocida. Until diagnostic tools have been further elaborated, special care should be taken in the identification of Pasteurella-like bacteria isolated from bite wounds caused by large cats. The evidence of phenotypic and genotypic divergence calls for the further development of PCR tests and DNA sequencing to document doubtful isolates.

Isolation of Bartonella quintana from a woman and a cat following putative bite transmission.

Project description:We report here the detection of Bartonella quintana, after putative bite transmission, in pre-enrichment blood cultures from a woman and from two feral barn cats. Prospective molecular epidemiological studies are necessary to characterize the risk of human Bartonella quintana infection following cat bites.

An unhealing wound and subcutaneous nodules due to Sporothrix globosa after a cat bite.

Project description:A 51-year-old man with 3-month unhealing cat bite wound was diagnosed with sporotrichosis, a subacute-to-chronic infection caused by the worldwide endemic, dimorphic fungus Sporothrix globosa. The case would help clinicians to raise awareness of human sporotrichosis due to cat bites, which remains rare and is likely to be underrecognized and misdiagnosed.

Bacteroides pyogenes isolated from appendiceal abscess in a patient without animal contact.

Project description:Bacteroides pyogenes is a member of the oral flora of cats and dogs. We report a case of B. pyogenes isolated from an appendiceal abscess in a patient without a history of animal contact. This species was identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and sequencing of 16S rRNA, rpoB, gyrB and hsp60 genes.

Streptobacillus moniliformis bacteremia in a rheumatoid arthritis patient without a rat bite: a case report.

Project description:Rat bite fever is a relatively rare infectious disease due to infection with Streptobacillus moniliformis or Spirillum minus mainly via directs bite by rats, mice, or other rodents. If there is no clear bite history, the diagnosis is difficult or may not be made.A 72-year-old Asian female with rheumatoid arthritis was admitted for high grade fever and walking difficulty with severe lumbago. Initially, we suspected lumber compression fracture with deterioration of rheumatoid arthritis, but Gram-negative bacilli were isolated from blood culture during hospitalization. The isolated organism was identified as S. moniliformis by 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing. S. moniliformis is well known to be a primary causative organism of rat bite fever, but this patient had no history of rat bite. Had S. moniliformis bacteremia not been detected, she might have been treated for rheumatic exacerbation.We emphasize the importance of performing appropriate microbial culture testing for identifying potential infectious diseases. We also conclude that S. moniliformis infection can become established with contaminated vehicle contact alone, not only as a direct result of a bite. We must keep mind that those working in places where rodents breed or are at risk of contact with rats or mice might be at risk for contracting this unusual disease.
