Infection After a Cat Bite: A Rare Case Report.

We describe a 62-year-old woman with a 1-month-old unhealed cat bite wound caused by presenting with persistent infection despite treatment with cefazolin and amoxicillin. This is the first reported case of infection caused by a cat bite. Cat bites are affected by the cat's food microbiome, so clinicians should consider the cat's diet if wounds are not responding as expected to first-line therapy.
