title: Pasteurella multocida infections in West Suffolk.
abstract: During the 3-year period 1980-1982, Pasteurella multocida was isolated from 19 patients, each with a history of animal contact. One patient, a slaughterman, whose exposure was occupational, developed meningitis. These case reports illustrate unusual features of human infections with this zoonotic pathogen.
