  • Title: Endocarditis caused by Pasteurella multocida.
    Author: Lehmann V, Knutsen SB, Ragnhildstveit E, Skagseth E, Solberg CO.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 1977; 9(3):247-8. PubMed ID: 905786.
    Abstract:
    A 51-year-old previously healthy man developed endocarditis with low grade fever, aortic insufficiently and multiple arterial emboli. An atypical strain of Pasteurella multocida was isolated from each of 3 consecutive blood cultures. Protracted treatment with high doses of penicillin G was necessary to eradicate the infection. Following resection of the damaged aortic valves and implantation of a valve prosthesis, the patient recovered. P. multocida should be regarded as one of the possible causes of subacute bacterial endocarditis.
