Draft Genome Sequence of the Capnocytophaga cynodegmi strain Ccyn2B isolated from the oral cavity of healthy dog
Here we present the draft genome sequence of Ccyn2B, a strain of Capnocytophaga cynodegmi. Genome analysis confirms a very close relationship between C. cynodegmi and C. canimorsus that contrasts with the pathogenic features exclusively found in the latter. Comparative genomics among these species provided some understanding on how Capnocytophaga species may switch from dog commensals to human pathogens.
