Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a Gram-negative rod commensal of oral cavity of dogs and cats. It can cause sepsis, septic shock, endocarditis, and meningitis associated with bites or licking wounds, especially in immunocompromised patients. Herein, we report a case of C. canimorsus spondylodiscitis linked to a dog bite in a previously healthy patient and review the literature on this pathogen.
