Pasteurella aerogenes is rarely isolated from human specimens. The species is found in the digestive tract of pigs. From 1976 to 1994 7 strains were cultured in Denmark from wounds or ulcers. Five patients were bitten by pigs and 2 patients with ulcers were employed in pig farming. A mixture of bacterial species was often found. All 7 strains of P. aerogenes were susceptible to ampicillin, cephalosporins and ciprofloxacin. Ability to hydrolyse urea, to produce oxidase and catalase, to decarboxylate ornithine and to produce gas from glucose and inability to produce indole was characteristic for P. aerogenes. Most bite wounds were located on the lower lateral part of the thigh. Foul smelling pus and abscess formation was the rule. Incision, drainage and antibiotic treatment were usually necessary.
