Capnocytophaga species is a commensal gram-negative rod capnophilic facultative anaerobic bacterium that colonizes the oral cavity of humans and animals. This bacterium can cause severe illness in patients with alcohol addiction, chronic lung diseases, liver diseases and immunosuppression. Herein, we report a rare case of sepsis caused by C. sputigena in a 83-year-old woman.
