title: [Abdominal infection by Pasteurella spp. A report of 3 cases].
abstract: Pasteurella spp. is a gram-negative coccobacillary micro-organism which is a common cause of soft-tissue infections caused by animal bite or scratch and more uncommonly at another locations. We report here the clinical and evolutive characteristics of three patients with different varieties of intra-abdominal infection caused by the microorganism as well as the potential exposure to pet animals.
