Pasteurella multocida is a non-motile, faculatively-anaerobic, gram-negative bacillus associated with a spectrum of human disease.(1) Direct and indirect zoonotic transmission is recognised with animal bites being most frequently encountered as a result of salivary colonisation in farm and domestic animals.(2) Despite the prevalence of P. multocida in swine herds,(3) the relationship between porcine colonisation and human disease is poorly established. This lesson reports a previously unrecognised mode of zoonotic transmission in respiratory pasteurellosis; domestic cooking of pig trotters.
