Draft Genome Sequences of Three Capnocytophaga cynodegmi Strains Isolated from the Oral Cavity of Healthy Dogs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here, we present the draft genome sequences of three strains of Capnocytophaga cynodegmi. In contrast to the very close relationship among them, C. cynodegmi and Capnocytophaga canimorsus differ dramatically in terms of virulence in humans. Comparative genomics provided some understanding on how Capnocytophaga species may switch from being dog commensals to human pathogens.

Draft Genome Sequences of Three Capnocytophaga canimorsus Strains Isolated from Healthy Canine Oral Cavities
Here, we present the draft genome sequences of three strains of Capnocytophaga canimorsus, each isolated from a different dog's mouth. Genome analysis provided evidence that these organisms may belong to a different nonpathogenic subtype of C. canimorsus.
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Three Capnocytophaga canimorsus Strains Isolated from Septic Patients
Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a bacterium from the normal oral flora of dogs and cats that causes rare generalized infections in humans. In an attempt to determine whether infections could be caused by a subset of strains and to identify pathogenicity factors, we sequenced the genomes of three strains isolated from human infections.
متن کاملCapnocytophaga cynodegmi peritonitis in a peritoneal dialysis patient.
The first reported case of peritonitis caused by Capnocytophaga cynodegmi is presented. The patient was treated with peritoneal dialysis and had contact with a cat. C. cynodegmi is part of the normal oral flora of dogs and cats but is very rarely isolated in clinical specimens from humans.
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of 26 Porphyromonas Strains Isolated from the Canine Oral Microbiome
We present the draft genome sequences for 26 strains of Porphyromonas (P. canoris, P. gulae, P. cangingavalis, P. macacae, and 7 unidentified) and an unidentified member of the Porphyromonadaceae family. All of these strains were isolated from the canine oral cavity, from dogs with and without early periodontal disease.
متن کاملWhole genome sequencing identifies a novel species of the genus Capnocytophaga isolated from dog and cat bite wounds in humans
C. canimorsus and C. cynodegmi are dog and cat commensals which can be transmitted to humans via bites or scratches and can cause sepsis, meningitis, endocarditis, and eye- or wound infections. Recently an additional Capnocytophaga species was identified as part of the oral flora of healthy dogs and was given the name "C. canis". We previously identified a Capnocytophaga isolate that could not ...
