In this unique case, Capnocytophaga canimorsus, a microorganism belonging to the oral microbiota of some domestic animals, caused septic arthritis and multifocal osteomyelitis in the long bone of a 43-year-old immunocompetent man. The patient was treated with two-stage surgery and local and systemic antibiotic therapy, and had a successful recovery. C. canimorsus should be considered as a possible etiological agent in patients with osteoarticular pathology and a history of exposure to domestic animals. 2023-09-19T09:03:50Z 2023-09-19T09:03:50Z 2023-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Levy-Blitchtein S, Salmeron P, Rodriguez-Pardo D, Corona P, Amat C, Lung-Suarez M.
