ABSTRACT
Pasteurella multocida is a gram-negative coccobacillus that commonly inhabits the oropharynx of healthy domestic and wild animals, including cats and dogs. Although Pasteurella multocida infection is rare in human beings, in recent years an increasing number of infections have been reported in men, which have included a variety of illness from local infections to systemic illness. Among them, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis due to Pasteurella multocida is particularly rare all through the world. Recently, we have experienced a case of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and sepsis due to Pasteurella multocida in a liver cirrhosis patient, successfully controlled by antibiotics. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis caused by Pasteurella multocida in Korea and provides another causative organism of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
