Abstract
A bacterial strain isolated from a dog-bite wound was identified as belonging to a group which is so far unnamed but which is tentatively designated Group EF-4 by the Center for Diseae Control, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Although this appears to be the 1st reported isolation in Australia of a strain belonging to this group, it is possible that strains of Group EF-4 are frequently recovered from dog-bite wounds but may not be identified or may be dismissed as skin contaminants. Characteristics are presented for differentiating Group EF-4 from Pasteurella multocida, the bacterium typically associated with animal bite wounds in humans.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
