Faux paw: Capnocytophaga canimorsus endocarditis following a dog lick: A case report

2025-09-16

Abstract excerpt

Capnocytophaga canimorsus (C. canimorsus) is a fastidious Gram-negative bacterium found in the mouths of dogs and cats. It is a rare cause of infective endocarditis, when it is often associated with dog bites. We present a case of C. canimorsus infective endocarditis complicated by aortic regurgitation and root abscess, in a patient with a history of previous infective endocarditis. The patient underwent re-do aor...
