Pasteurella tularensis

Francisella tularensis (formerly Pasteurella tularensis) causes tularaemia in humans, a disease endemic in the American Midwest and contracted from infected animals. 

From Pasteurella tularensis, a polysaccharide was extracted, but no chemical data were given. In another report,the material was thought to contain hexosamine, but qualitative tests for other sugars were negative and the substance gave several lines of precipitation in the antigen-antibody gel-diffusion test. 

Infections arising from cat bites or scratches are frequently (75%) caused by P. multocida, which has been isolated in the oropharynx of 50% to 70% of healthy cats. Mixed aerobic and anaerobic infections have been reported in 63% of cat bite wounds, whereas approximately one-third of cultures grow aerobes only. Both tularemia Pasteurella tularensis) and rabies also have been transmitted by cat bites. ...
