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].
