A large outbreak in a military base was investigated. We investigated the outbreak's source and risk factors for infection in order to contain and eliminate it. All staff\u2010members at the base were interviewed and examined. A case\u2010control analysis of symptomatic patients was used to elucidate risk factors. Stray cats were captured and sampled. <jats:italic>M.\u00a0canis<\/jats:italic> isolated from skin and fur specimens of patients and cats were genotyped by microsatellite sequencing. Fifty\u2010three of 502 staff\u2010members were symptomatic. Logistic regression showed risk associated with female gender, cat contact at base and performance of guarding duty. Multiple stray cats were found at the base. <jats:italic>M.\u00a0canis<\/jats:italic> isolates from 4 cats and 4 patients had an identical genotype, while 2 patients had different genotypes. We describe the largest <jats:italic>M.\u00a0canis<\/jats:italic> outbreak reported until now. Epidemiological and phylogenetic tools were used to investigate the source of the outbreak. Multiple exposures to stray cats caused infection of mainly young female soldiers performing guarding duty. Other persons were infected by person\u2010to\u2010person transmission.
