In recent years, more insight hiss been gained into a 'new' bacterial infection of bite wounds that nor only has severe local effects brit also potentially fatal systemic consequences. The bacterium involved is Capnocytophaga canimorsus. All Dire wounds should Dc treated adequately, but this is especially so when wounds are infected with C. canimorsus.
