  • Title: [Pet-rat bite fever and septic arthritis: molecular identification of Streptobacillus moniliformis].
    Author: Mignard S, Aubry-Rozier B, de Montclos M, Llorca G, Carret G.
    Journal: Med Mal Infect; 2007 May; 37(5):293-4. PubMed ID: 17257794.
    Abstract:
    Pet-rat bite fever is a relatively rare disease consecutive to a rat bite or scratch. The authors report a case of septic arthritis following a pet rat bite. Streptobacillus moniliformis was identified in the knee synovial fluid and identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. This is a rapid and efficient tool for identification of fastidious bacterium. The patient was cured by an amoxicillin treatment.
