Abstract
Pasteurella multicide is the most common cause of human soft tissue infection, usually associated with domestic animals contact history. Reports of diabetic foot infections caused by Pasteurella multicide without contact history are rare. Here we report the case of a 51-year-old man with diabetic foot infection who was cured with penicillin. A variety of antibiotics were replaced after admission, his body temperature and right lower extremity swelling had not improved, and symptoms such as heart failure, anemia and renal insufficiency occurred. Finally, Pasteurella multicide was detected by next-generation sequencing and he got better after the use of penicillin. In Non-contact cases, diabetic foot infection caused by Pasteurella multicide may be related to impaired immunity.
