Isolation of Pasteurella caballi from an infected wound on a veterinary surgeon.
Comparison of phenotypical characters obtained from the type strain of Pasteurella caballi and a previously unclassified P.sp., isolated from an infected wound on a veterinary surgeon, allowed classification of the P.sp. with P. caballi. The P.sp. was isolated in a mixed culture with Escherichia coli and probably represents the first human isolate of P. caballi.
