DESCRIPTION:Adrian Egli\, Institute of Medical Microbiology\, University o
 f Zurich\nClose contact with companion animals can transmit zoonotic bacte
 ria\, including Capnocytophaga spp.\, commensals of the canine/feline ora
 l microbiota that can cause severe human infections\, especially in immuno
 compromised hosts. This talk presents microbiological and genomic insights
  from a global Capnocytophaga consortium\, focusing on species diversity\
 , population structure\, and the open pangenome of C. canimorsus. Using wh
 ole-genome sequencing linked to phenotypic susceptibility testing\, we ide
 ntify acquired antimicrobial resistance genes in a subset of isolates\, in
 cluding class D β-lactamases\, and demonstrate genotype–phenotype conco
 rdance. We conclude with current efforts to establish standardized referen
 ce AST conditions and ECOFFs/breakpoints to support mechanistic AMR studie
 s and improve interpretation of susceptibility data in this fastidious pat
 hogen.
