A Novel 16S rRNA PCR-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Assay to Accurately Distinguish Zoonotic Capnocytophaga canimorsus and C. cynodegmi

A Novel 16S rRNA PCR-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Assay to Accurately Distinguish Zoonotic Capnocytophaga canimorsus and C. cynodegmi

ABSTRACT The zoonotic bacteria Capnocytophaga canimorsus and C. cynodegmi, the predominant Capnocytophaga species in the canine oral biota, can cause human local wound infections or lethal sepsis, usually transmitted through dog bites. Molecular surveying of these Capnocytophaga species using conven...
