Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but it is hard to tell wether the mouse was infected by any bacterial infection that can be transmitted to humans. however, you should drink plenty of water and monitor yourself. If any symptoms as diarrhea , vomiting or fever then please seek medical care immediately. i hope you find this helpful
