Capnocytophaga: a review of the literature

J C Fung et al. Am J Med Technol. 1983 Aug.

Abstract

Capnocytophaga species are normal mouth flora but can be opportunistic pathogens causing juvenile peridontitis and bacteremia in the compromised host. Indole-negative fusiforms isolated anaerobically or in the presence of increased CO2 can presumptively be identified as Capnocytophaga species.
