Moraxella canis was isolated in large numbers from an
ulcerated supraclavicular lymph node of a terminal patient, who died a
few days later. Although the patient presented with septic symptoms and
with a heavy growth of gram-negative diplococci in the lymph node,
blood cultures remained negative. M. canis is an
upper-airway commensal from dogs and cats and is considered
nonpathogenic for humans, although this is the third reported human
isolate of this species.
