Pasteurella Research Paper

The bacterium that causes tularemia is Francisella tularensis. The bacterium Francisella tularensis is a pathogenic species of Gram-negative bacteria which is nonmotile, and strictly aerobic; it is also the causative agent of the pneumonic form of tularemia, which is often lethal without treatment. In the gram stain it is red/pink in color and it appears in small rods.

According to Epocrates, the drug of choice would be amoxicillin (Amoxil), which is in the penicillin family. If failed treatment occurs, a higher dosage of amoxicillin should be prescribed or the drug should be changed to amoxicillin/clavulanate (Augmentin). This should be tried before changing to a different drug class (Epocrates, 2014).

Before administration of any medication the patients chart should be looked at and varify that the patient has no allergies that could be related to said treatment or anything similar in their medical history. Also obtaining a baseline set of vitals prior to medication administration

Fever, swelling and redness of skin on arms or legs, with blood-tinged blisters, low blood pressure and shock are also sign and symptoms of Vibrio vulnificus. (CDC, 2014)

• Keep all follow-up visits as directed by your health care provider. This is important.

Take your antibiotic medicine as told by your health care provider. Do not stop taking the antibiotic even if you start to feel better. Incomplete treatment will put you at risk of not being able to have children (sterility).

Also, contraction is very possible through the skin via abrasions both small and large. This type of infection would be contracted from exposure to other people harboring the bacteria, bacteria in the air, or bacteria on the injured person. Being infected this way can rarely result in necrotizing fasciitis. It is also very possible, albeit very rare, that Streptococcus pyogenes can be transmitted through food, most notably milk and its products. This form of infection is usually caused by improper or lack of pasteurization of the milk. The bacteria that are responsible hardly ever come from an outside source, and are usually present within the cow when infected milk is produced. However, these two other methods of transmission are far less likely than the usual human-to-human respiratory infections. (6,2,1)

Finish all antibiotics and the importance of finishing the medication. If patient stop taking their medication in the middle of treatment the infection can come back.

Cats are adorable family pets, but pet owner should be cautioned as these little animal ca cause severe infections. A bite, a lick or a scratch can be serious. With this case a looked at the symptoms this 66-year-old was exhibiting after being bitten by a cat. The pain, redness chills fever, axillary tenderness the two-puncture wound and so forth. With her gram stain showing that she has a gram-negative coccobacillus, that grows well on the blood agar as also on the MacConkey agar. I concluded that the organism that she is infected with is the Pasteurella Multocida. According to my research this organism is gran negative cocci bacilli, it is a natural inhabitant of the skin, digestive tract and oral cavity and respiratory tract of cat. As
