This project aims to commercialize a PCR test for identifying virulent strains of Capnocytophaga canimorsus in dogs. It builds on previous research that characterized the capsular polysaccharide of the bacteria and its association with human infections.
The idea to be taken as proof of concept is drawn from the ERC Advanced grant N°293605-CAPCAN (2012-2016).
This grant aimed at understanding the molecular and genetic bases of the dramatic human infections caused by Capnocytophaga canimorsus.
One of the questions that we addressed in the frame of CAPCAN is why are there so few cases of human infections while so many dogs carry C. canimorsus?
In other words, are all C. canimorsus strains equally dangerous and, if not, could we prevent the diseas…
