    Abstract:
    The authors present a case report of a patient with sepsis caused by Gram negative rod Capnocytophaga canimorsus resulting from a dog bite. The infection had a course of septic shock progressing into multiorgan failure and serious ischemic damage to the extremities. The etiologic agent was identified utilizing molecular genetic methods and its detailed microbiologic characteristics are provided below. The report also outlines diagnostic and therapeutic options of this otherwise most likely under-diagnosed infection.
