From Animals to Arthroplasty: Insights From Three Cases of Pasteurella Prosthetic Joint Infection and a Comprehensive Review of the Literature

Case Reports in Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Pasteurella spp. are rare but important zoonotic pathogens that can cause prosthetic joint infection (PJI). We present 3 cases of Pasteurella prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) following close animal contact that required treatment with DAIR (debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention) procedures. An extensive literature review was performed which
