Abstract

GOMEZ-CAMARASA, Cristina et al. Emerging presence of Pasteurella bettyae in a woman’s genital tract. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.1, e16028.  Epub Mar 31, 2020. ISSN 1609-9117.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rivep.v31i1.16028.

A clinical case is described where the presence of Pasteurella bettyae in an endocervical exudate in a 45-year-old patient is demonstrated, but it cannot be assured as the sole cause of the infection. Its presence may indicate a colonization, although this microorganism is not recognized as part of the human microbiota. Despite its rarity, thanks to the Maldi-Tof test applied to colonies that grow in culture media, it is possible to know the infrequent presence of this type of microorganism.

Keywords : genital infection; Pasteurella bettyae; emerging infection.
