摘要: Capnocytophagacanimorsus and Capnocytophagacynodegmi, fastidious gram-negative rods, are commensal microbes thriving in the oral cavities of dogs cats. C. canimorsus can sometimes cause fatal systemic infections humans. In present study, we established a specific PCR which could identify distinguish from cynodegmi. The prevalence Capnocytophaga spp. cats was determined using this method. detected 74% 57% cynodegmi 86% 84% obtained study is somewhat higher than those reported previously where bacterial isolation method used for identification. This probably due to fact that detection more sensitive compared isolation. Our findings suggest importance informing people who belong high-risk groups as well health care workers on infection its potential risk particularly immunocompromised.
