Common infections What diseases or specific types of infection are associated? o Special Media/Growth Requirements . o What makes this organism fastidious? o Is special media needed to grow in culture? If yes, what kind? o Are special environmental conditions needed? If yes, what kind? . Laboratory Identification o List the necessary tests and expected resulits for eachentify the organism in the clinical laboratory setting

-middle age and old people are vulnerable because there are chances of periodontal disease in which capnocytophaga present.

-periodontal diseases and animal bite like cat, dog are clinical conditions where capnocytophaga presents

-they requires media which has greater carbon dioxide then atmosphere.
