During the 3-year period 1980-1982, Pasteurella multocida was isolated from 19 patients, each with a history of animal contact. One patient, a slaughterman, whose exposure was occupational, developed meningitis. These case reports illustrate unusual features of human infections with this zoonotic pathogen.

In the Cambridge area, 143 patients infected with Corynebacterium haemolyticum were found during the period May 1967 to December 1974. The pharynx was the commonest site of infection and 100 of the 137 pharyngeal infections were in patients aged between 15 and 25 years. Such patients usually had a sore throat; about half of them also had a maculopapular rash. The organism and the clinical features which we have come to regard as typical of this infection are briefly described.
