First description of pulmonary disease in immunocompetent patient with a multidrug-resistant Capnocytophaga gingivalis. Acquired resistance to third generation cephalosporins (blaCfxA3), macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin (erm(F)) and fluoroquinolones. A substitution in QRDR of GyrA (Gly80Asn substitution) was described, for the first time, in Capnocytophaga sp. This multidrug-resistant C. gingivalis isolate illustrated the role of oral flora as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance and its contribution to the limitation of effective antibiotics in severe respiratory infectionsThis multidrug-resistant C. gingivalis isolate illustrated the role of oral flora as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance.
