A Wisconsin man made international headlines this week after a dog lick(舔) led to a rare infection resulting in the loss of part of his legs and arms. Greg Manteufel, 48, was diagnosed(诊断) with a blood infection from capnocytophaga canimorsus(犬咬二氧化碳嗜纤维菌), a bacterium found in dog and cat mouths. Doctors believe Manteufel became infected after his body was touched by a dog’s tongue. Manteufel’s case was serious.

Capnocytophaga is a bacterium found in the mouths of dogs, cats and even humans, and is considered normal, according to the CDC. Up to 74 percent of dogs and 57 percent of cats have some form of capnocytophaga in their mouths. There are many species of capnocytophaga. One of those species—capnocytophaga canimorsus, commonly found in dog and cat mouths—can potentially cause serious infection when passed on to humans.

It’s possible to test pets for the presence of the bacteria, but an animal might have the bacteria one day but not have it the next, according to the CDC. And it’s not practical to treat animals with medicine to get rid of the bacteria because it’s a normal part of their biology.
People are typically infected with capnocytophaga canimorsus from an animal bite, usually a dog bite. Some people, like Manteufel, become infected without a bite, if an animal carrying the bacteria licks them and the saliva(唾液) touches an open area on the skin, like a cut.

The bacterium is common, but becoming seriously ill from an infection is not. “It’s just really, really, really rare,” said Scott Weese, a professor at Ontario Veterinary College’s Centre for Public Health and Zoonoses. “The risk caused by a dog is really low. Most dogs are carrying this bacterium in their mouth, but few people get sick.” Experts don’t know exactly how many people get infected with capnocytophaga annually because there’s no centralized record of cases. But all agree that serious infections happen once in
