Abstract:
Pasteurella multocida and Aeromonas hydrophila are rare human pathogens,and zoonotic infections caused by bites of big cats are rarely reported.This paper reported the first case of wound infection caused by Pas-teurella multocida and Aeromonas hydrophila after tiger bites in China.Strain identification and drug susceptibility testing were conducted by BD PHOENIXTM100 automatic microbial analyzer.The patient was discharged with a good prognosis after wound debridement,surgical intervention and combined antimicrobial treatment.This paper aims to advise emergency physicians to consider the possibility of co-infection of Pasteurella multocida and Aero-monas hydrophila when encountering rare big cat bites.
