Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a commensal organism of canine and feline oral flora known to cause severe infections most frequently reported in immunocompromised hosts. We describe a case of bacterial aortitis secondary to C. canimorsus in an 80-year-old immunocompetent female, who presented with fever, non-specific lower back, and pelvic pain. Infection was confirmed with positive blood cultures and serial imaging.
