title: [Cellulitis after a cat bite].
abstract: Animal bite wounds are common. Domestic companion animals inflict the majority of these wounds. The most important percentage of contagions are due to cat bites, and often by Pasteurella species. We present two cases of Pasteurella multocida infection after a cat bite.Thus, in this article we review the most relevant clinical features related with this aetiological agent and some aspects about antimicrobial susceptibility.
