Abstract Background Capnocytopha ga is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobe. Human infection is rare but can lead to devastating outcomes. Capnocytophaga canimorsus can cause sepsis following an animal bite, whereas human-oral–associated Capnocytophaga infections were reported in immunocompromised patients. Current data on these infections are not robust. Our goal is to provide a contemporary description of a unique characteristic of Capnocytophaga infections. Methods We performed a retrospective review of all patients with Capnocytophaga infection from January 2010 to August 2020 at 3 main hospitals of Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Jacksonville, Florida. We collected baseline demographic data, clinical characteristics, microbiological data, and outcomes of C. canimorsus and human-oral–associated Capnocytophaga infection. Results Among 82 patients with Capnocytophaga infection, 46 patients (56.0%) had bacteremia. The most common species identified in this group was C. sputigena (57.9%), followed by C. canimorsus (34.8%). Patients with human-oral–associated Capnocytophaga bacteremia were often immunocompromised, presented with neutropenic fever, and had worse 6-month all-cause mortality compared to C. canimorsus bacteremia (36.4% vs 6.2%, P = .03). They also had a higher β-lactamase production rate (36.4% vs 0.0%, P = .02). Among patients without bacteremia, the main clinical syndrome was polymicrobial head and neck infections (47.2%). Conclusions Human-oral–associated Capnocytophaga bacteremia occurs primarily in immunocompromised patients, particularly those with hematologic malignancy. In contrast, C. canimorsus bacteremia is more likely to present with community-onset infection related to zoonotic exposure. Human-oral–associated Capnocytophaga infection without bacteremia is frequently isolated in polymicrobial infection; this phenomenon’s significance is yet to be fully understood.
