RESUMEN
Resumen Pasteurella multocida es reconocida por ser una de las especies más frecuentemente aisladas en la microbiota oral de animales domésticos y salvajes; asociadas a infecciones de piel y tejidos blandos secundarias a mordeduras y rasguños. Las infecciones sistémicas son poco frecuentes, asociadas a la diseminación desde infecciones localizadas y a factores de riesgo asociados a inmunosupresión. Presentamos un caso de bacteriemia por Pasteurella multocida en un paciente de 88 años, relacionada con alimentos compartidos con su mascota; un mecanismo de producción de bacteriemia nunca antes descrito en la literatura médica.
ABSTRACT
Pasteurella species are known to be one of the most frequently isolated in oral microbiota of domestic and wild animals, because of that, they are associated with skin and soft tissues infections secondary to bites and scratches. Systemic infections are uncommon, but are associated with dissemination from localized infections and some risks factors related to immunosuppression. We report a case of Pasteurella multocida bacteremia in an 88 years old patient, associated with food sharing with his dog; a bacteremia mechanism never described before in the medical literature.
