Cat bite wound infections: a prospective clinical and microbiological study at three emergency wards in Stockholm, Sweden.
The rate of infection following cat bites appears to be greater than that from dog bites. To study the clinical picture, complications and microbiology (in humans and cats), this prospective study was performed. ⋯ P. multocida was the dominating pathogen among patients with infected cat bites and antibiotic treatment should cover P. multocida.
