Yes, animal bites can transmit bacteria from the animal's mouth to the person bitten, leading to infections such as cellulitis or pasteurellosis. It is important to seek medical attention if bitten by an animal, especially if the wound is deep or becomes red, swollen, or painful. Antibiotics may be required to prevent or treat infection.
