Pasteurella canis infective endocarditis in a dog

“In the present study, P. canis was isolated from the blood and heart valve of an adult dog for the first time. The results highlight an additional species of Pasteurella that should be considered when evaluating for causes of bacteremia and infective endocarditis in dogs. The identification of P. canis in this infection also highlights an intersection of risk in companion animal and human health.”
