title: Use of penicillin and nafcillin discs as an aid to identification of Pasteurella multocida.
abstract: 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.
