Abstract

We report a case of aortic valve endocarditis, caused by Capnocytophaga canimorsus (previously known as CDC Group DF-2) secondary to a dog bite. Vegetations were documented by cross-sectional echocardiography and bacteraemia by positive haemocultures for this unusual gram-negative bacillus.

Key Words: Dysgonic fermenter-2 • endocarditis • aortic stenosis • capnocytophaga canimorsus
