The predominant syndrome is upper respiratory disease. ''P. multocida'' is often an endemic in rabbit colonies and the acquisition of infection in young rabbits is correlated to the prevalence in adult rabbits." According to Barbara Deeb, DVM, MS and Assistant Professor Dept. of Comparative Medicine University of Washington, transmission is typically through nasal secretions and P. multocida can survive several days in moist areas or in water. <ref>{{cite web | title=Pasteurella multocida Infection in Rabbits | url=http://www.rabbit.org/care/pasteurella.html | author = Barbara Deeb, DVM, MS Assistant Professor Dept. of Comparative Medicine University of Washington}}</ref> Mark A Marinella, MD presents material to support an elderly man owning sixteen cats acquiring pneumonia due to the P. multocida bacterial species without evidence of a scratch or bite. <ref>{{cite web | title=Community-Acquired Pneumonia Due to Pasteurella multocida | url=http://www.rcjournal.com/contents/12.04/12.04.1528.pdf | author = Mark A Marinella, MD}}</ref> ==Pathogenesis== Most ''Pasteurella'' species are [[zoonotic]] pathogens; humans can acquire an infection, however, typically from [[Pet|domestic pet]] bites.<ref>{{cite web | title=Pasteurella | work=Introduction To Clinical Microbiology | url=http://medic.med.uth.tmc.edu/path/00001514.htm | accessdate=2006-04-06}}</ref> Common symptoms of ''Pasteurella'' infections in humans include swelling [[cellulitis]], and bloody drainage at the site of the wound. Infections may progress to nearby joints where it can cause swelling and arthritis. ''Pasteurella'' are generally susceptible to [[chloramphenicol]], the [[penicillin]]s, and [[tetracycline]]. ==See also== * [[Pasteurellaceae]] ==References== <references/> ==External links== *[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/5269766.stm British man dies from P. multocida infection-BBC News] *[http://www.rabbitnetwork.org/articles/past.shtml "Your Bunny Probably Has It - Pasteurella" by Astrid M.
