    Abstract:
    Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida), a Gram-negative bacillus is a typical commensal in the oropharynx of animals such as dogs and cats. Human diseases caused by P. multocida are rare and include respiratory infections, sepsis and meningitis. P. multocida infections are described predominantly in patients with underlying chronic disorders, in elderly patients or in infants < or = 1 year. We describe the case of a 3-week-old boy with meningitis due to Pasteurella multocida. P. multocida was also identified in oral swab and stool cultures of the pet cat. A direct contact between baby and cat was negated by the parents. The patient recovered without any neurological sequelae.
