title: Vascular graft infection due to Pasteurella multocida.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Vascular graft infections are infrequent complications with important morbidity and mortality rates. Pasteurella multocida, a Gram negative bacillus, is a normal oral commensal of many animals. For mankind, it is a pathogenous bacillus which is rarely implicated in vascular grafts.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report hereafter the fourth case introduced in the international literature about vascular graft infections caused by P. multocida. The patient was successfully treated with a combination of a surgical graft change and a 6 weeks bi-antibiotic therapy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is fours case reported in litterature with quite different antibiotic drugs and duration.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  P. multicoda graft infection should be long with initial intravenous drug and mainteance traitement should not be required.
