title: [Infectious diseases transmitted by animal bites].
abstract: The animal population, and most of all pets, entail a high risk of bites, some of them severe, which may lead to complications among which infection is a major one. Epidemiological data about the germs liable to grow (Pasteurellae, pyogenic germs, anareobes...) are helpful to guide curative, and even more, prophylactic approaches to treatment.
