Abstract
Intraamniotic infection is a significant cause of perinatal morbidity. Capnocytophaga, a gram-negative anaerobe found in the oral cavity, has been implicated as an unusual cause of neonatal sepsis. We report a patient in whom this unusual organism was identified and describe the postpartum and neonatal courses.
