Pasteurella dagmatis is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, penicillin-sensitive coccobacillus from the family Pasteurellaceae.[1] P. dagmatis is oxidase and indole positive [citation needed]. Bacteria from this family cause zoonotic infections in humans. These infections manifest themselves as skin or soft tissue infections after an animal bite. It has been known to cause serious disease in immunocompromised patients.[2][3][4]
