Dysgonic fermenter 3 (DF-3)-associated bacteremia occurred in a febrile patient with acute myelocytic leukemia during aplasia. Another DF-3 isolate, identical by ribotyping, was grown 10 weeks later from stool collected in the absence of diarrhea. This is the first case in which DF-3 was isolated from blood and stool specimens from the same patient.

Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a commonly detectable commensal in the oral flora of dogs and cats, found in 25.5% and 15%, respectively, by culture and 70% and 55%, respectively, by molecular methods [1]. Formerly known as dysgonic fermenter 2 (DF-2), it was first reported in 1976 as a Gram-negative bacillus causing septicaemia and meningitis following dog bites [2].

CDC group DF-3 is a rare isolate from blood, stools and wounds. During the last few years attention to this bacterium has increased due to its association with diarrhoea and bacteremia in immunocompromised patients. This report presents an isolation of this bacterium from a decubitus ulcer of a subfebrile patient with diarrhoea.

Capnocytophaga canimorsus, formerly designated Dysgonic fermenter 2 (DF-2) was first described in 1976; it is a commensal bacterium of dogs and cats saliva, which can be transmitted to man by bite (54% of cases), scratch (8.5%), or mere exposure to animals (27%). We present a review of the clinical and microbiological characteristics of the Capnocytophaga canimorsus infections and 12 cases of infection in France.
