description Discovered by Louis Pasteur in 1880, Pasteurella multocida is the most common cause of zoonotic infection in humans which is transmitted via pet bites and/or scratches. However, animal contact may be absent or not identified in up to 40% of cases which usually occur in individuals with comorbidities. Despite having a low virulence, PM can cause serious and life threatening infections in rare instances. In such cases, prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment can lead to miraculous recovery.
