Abstract

ABSTRACT Human contact with bears has become more frequent, as has the resultant bear maulings and bite injuries. We report the bacteriology of a patient bitten by a grizzly bear ( Ursus arctos ) from the Rocky Mountains foothills area east of Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. The patient received field care, including metronidazole and cefazolin. Subsequent deep-wound cultures grew Serratia fonticola , Serratia marcescens , Aeromonas hydrophila , Bacillus cereus , and Enterococcus durans but no anaerobes.
