A young girl - malak - ArchivalUser - 05-17-2007
A young girl is bitten on the finger by her pet kitten. Within 8 hours the finger is red and indurated, and a seropurulent discharge can be expressed from the wound. A Gram™s stain reveals many polymorphonuclear leukocytes and small gram-negative coccobacilli with bipolar staining.
The responsible organism is most likely
Candida albicans
Pasteurella multocida
Yersinia pestis
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Staphylococcus aureus
