    Dysgonomonas capnocytophagoides , formerly known as CDC group DF‐3, is an opportunistic pathogen associated with diarrhoea and very rarely bacteraemia. We report a case of D. capnocytophagoides found in blood cultures from a severely neutropenic patient treated for acute myeloid leukaemia. The isolate was found resistant to penicillin, cephalosporins, meropenem, aminoglycosides and ciprofloxacin, and susceptible to ampicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, clindamycin and trimethoprim‐sulphamethoxazole. It was identified using conventional phenotypic testing but remained unidentified by the automated identification system (Vitek‐2) as this system did not contain DF‐3 or D. capnocytophagoides in its database.
