However, their role in urogenital infections is poorly understood. We report the first case of a Bartholin’s gland abscess caused by Capnocytophaga ochracea in a 48-year-old immunocompetent woman. Identification was achieved by MALDI-TOF MS and confirmed by 16 S rRNA sequencing. The patient recovered fully after surgical drainage without additional antimicrobial therapy. This case expands the clinical spectrum of Capnocytophaga infections and raises questions about potential colonization routes, emphasizing the importance of advanced microbiological techniques for accurate pathogen identification. info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Goñi, Pilar Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-0765-7227 López-Alonso, Beatriz Juan-Bañón, José Luis Antón-Berenguer, Víctor Beltrán-Rosel, Antonio Universidad de Zaragoza 1011 660 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
