Molecular Characterization of <i>Capnocytophaga canimorsus</i> and Other Canine <i>Capnocytophaga</i> spp. and Assessment by PCR of Their Frequencies in Dogs
30 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
Capnocytophaga canimorsus can be a virulent pathogen, whereas C. cynodegmi is of low virulence. Heterogeneity within these species, their frequency in dogs, and pathogenicity factors are largely unknown. Strains from blood cultures from patients presumptively identified as C. canimorsus (n = 25) and as C. cynodegmi by rrs analysis (n = 4), blood cultures from dogs (n = 8), blood cultures from cats (n = 2), and...
