Abstract
A frequent complication of dog bite wounds is bacterial infection. The choice of antibiotics is based upon the most likely organisms. Failure to achieve wound healing suggests that an uncommon organism(s) is present and should lead the clinician to culture the wound. A case of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus infection following a dog bite is described.Entities:
