Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a bacterium from the normal oral flora of dogs and cats that causes rare generalized infections in humans. In an attempt to determine whether infections could be caused by a subset of strains and to identify pathogenicity factors, we sequenced the genomes of three strains isolated from human infections.
