Use of penicillin and nafcillin discs as an aid to identification of Pasteurella multocida.
Strains of Pasteurella multocida isolated from children and animal sources were studied by means of the Kirby-Bauer disc method and were found to be highly susceptible to penicillin G and resistant to nafcillin. It is suggested that these tests may be of aid in the preliminary identification of this pathogen.
