Capnocytophaga sepsis: a newly recognised clinical entity in granulocytopenic patients
Abstract
10 episodes of Capnocytophaga sepsis occurred in 6 patients with granulocytopenia, malignancy, and oral mucosal ulcerations. Capnyocytophaga is a newly described genus of gliding gram-negative bacilli which is physiologically and genetically identical to Bacteroides ochraceus and biogroup DF-1 of the United States Center for Disease Control and is commonly responsible for periodontal infections.
