Abstract

Capnocytophaga ochracea is a gram-negative, fusiform bacillus which is part of the normal human oral flora. This organism is often isolated from periodontal lesions of patients with periodontitis and is associated with sepsis in granulocytopenic patients. We report here a case of endocarditis caused by C. ochracea.
