RESUMO
Capnocytophaga spp. are not often considered as a cause of perinatal infection. However, Capnocytophaga spp. are a commensal of the human oral cavity and can be opportunistic pathogens. The present case illustrates the ability of a species from the human oral cavity, C. sputigena, to cause an ascending infection of the genital tract in a healthy pregnant woman.

We compared the effectiveness of physician-initiated daily verbal reminders to primary care providers with nurse-initiated daily verbal reminders in decreasing the duration of inappropriate indwelling urinary catheter use in hospitalized patients. Catheter use duration was significantly decreased in the physician-initiated intervention group compared with the nurse-initiated intervention group (0.5 ± 0.8 vs 1.7 ± 2.7 days, respectively; P = .03).
