ABSTRACT: Capnocytophaga canimorsus and Capnocytophaga cynodegmi are gram-negative bacilli found among the oral microbiota of dogs and cats, and are capable of infecting humans through bites, licks, or close contact with animals. Clinical manifestations in humans range from local inflammation of the lesion, to sepsis followed by death. The objective of this study was to detect C. canimorsus and C. cynodegmi in samples of subgingival curettage from dogs domiciled treated at a public veterinary hospital in Brazil, using PCR. Of a total of 121 samples were tested, the prevalence of C. canimorsus was 19% and that of C. cynodegmi was 66.94%. There was a significant association between the presence of C. cynodegmi and advanced periodontal disease. It is concluded that microorganisms are circulating in the oral microbiota of dogs domiciled in Brazil, which represents a risk to public health due to their zoonotic potential. Given the lack of studies on these microorganisms in the country, it is necessary to conduct research to understand the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of infections by C. canimorsus and C. cynodegmi in Brazil, aiming at One Health.
