A rare case of early‐onset neonatal sepsis

摘要

Capnocytophaga sputigena is a capnophilic Gram‐negative bacillus normally residing intra‐orally in humans, and may be associated with opportunistic infections in the immunocompromised. A case of early‐onset neonatal sepsis is described, which has only rarely been reported as a cause of premature birth and neonatal septicaemia.
