M Algan, and J L George, and C Lion, and A Retout, and P Lesure, and D Sirbat, and J C Burdin

Authors report a Pasteurella Multocida corneal abscess after a scratch from a cat. The evolution was torpid and needed a transfixiant keratoplasty. They recall bacterial tanks, infestation ways, clinical manifestations and bacteriological identification. They note the low occurrence of ophthalmological manifestations and the sensibility of Pasteurella to various antibiotics, especially Beta lactams, phenicol and cyclins.
