Capnocytophaga species are among the typical zoonotic pathogens causing infections following direct contact with animals. Recently, a putative novel species of zoonotic Capnocytophaga, Capnocytophaga stomatis, was reported. We herein report the first case of bacteremia caused by C. stomatis. A woman...
