  • Title: Meningitis in infancy caused by Pasteurella multocida.
    Author: Boocock GR, Bowley JA.
    Journal: J Infect; 1995 Sep; 31(2):161-2. PubMed ID: 8666850.
    Abstract:
    A high proportion of household pets are colonised by Pasteurella multocida. The organism can be transmitted to humans by contact with animal saliva and is a recognised, although rare, cause of meningitis in infancy. Intimate contact between infants and family pets should be discouraged.
