چکیده
We report two cases of bacterial keratitis caused by Capnocytophaga, a genus of capnophilic Gram negative bacilli. Both responded to topical and subconjunctival clindamycin.

Draft 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 ochracea infection: two cases and a review of the published work.
Bacteria of the genus Capnocytophaga are recently recognised pathogens which may cause oral disease and subsequent septicaemia in the immunocompromised host. We present two cases of infection caused by Capnocytophaga ochracea; a soft tissue infection in an immunologically normal patient and an episode of septicaemia in a child with leukaemia. The microbiology, pathogenicity, and antimicrobial s...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Three Capnocytophaga cynodegmi Strains Isolated from the Oral Cavity of Healthy Dogs
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.
متن کاملDraft 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 کاملDiagnosing Capnocytophaga canimorsus Infections
We reviewed clinical and epidemiologic features of 56 human Capnocytophaga canimorsus isolates submitted during a 32-year period to California's Microbial Diseases Laboratory for identification. An increasing number of isolates identified as C. canimorsus have been submitted since 1990. Many laboratories still have difficulty correctly identifying this species.
