Capnocytophaga is clinically important in pediatric oncology and hematology, [6] > especially when patients are in aplasia. [7] C. canimorsus and C. cynodegmi are commonly transmitted by dog bites and known to cause sepsis, potentially complicated by thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremic syndrome, in immunocompromised ...
Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a fastidious, slow-growing, Gram-negative rod of the genus Capnocytophaga. [1] [2] It is a commensal bacterium in the normal gingival microbiota of canine and feline species, but can cause illness in humans. Transmission may occur through bites, licks, or even close proximity with animals. [3]

Adrenal hemorrhage characteristic of the Waterhouse–Friderichsen syndrome has been identified in several autopsies of patients who died of sepsis secondary to capnocytophaga canimorsus infection. [8] Viruses may also be implicated in adrenal problems: Cytomegalovirus can cause adrenal insufficiency, [9] especially in the immunocompromised.
Cytophagales is an order of non-spore forming, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria that move through a gliding or flexing motion. [4] These chemoorganotrophs are important remineralizers of organic materials into micronutrients. [5]
Most species are aerobic, while some are microaerobic to anaerobic; for example Capnocytophaga and Coenonia. [6] Several members of the family are considered halophilic or psychrotolerant. [3] The predominant respiratory quinone is menaquinone-6. [3] The majority of species of this family are known from a variety of environmental sources. [3]
