Abstract

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.
