BACKGROUND
Enteric diseases are among the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in gorillas, and it is often caused by bacteria.
METHODS
A thirteen-year-old captive female western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) developed hemorrhagic diarrhea. Despite the treatment, the animal died 7 days after the onset of clinical signs. The animal was submitted to a thorough pathological and microbiological evaluation.
RESULTS
Pathologic examination revealed a severe acute hemorrhagic colitis, neutrophilic splenitis, glomerulitis, and interstitial pneumonia. Salmonella enterica serotype Infantis was isolated from a mesenteric lymph node.
CONCLUSION
A diagnosis of hemorrhagic colitis associated with Salmonella enterica serotype Infantis was established.
背景
肠道疾病是大猩猩发病和死亡的最常见原因之一，且通常由细菌引起。
方法
一只13岁的圈养雌性西部低地大猩猩（Gorilla gorilla gorilla）出现了出血性腹泻。尽管进行了治疗，但该动物在出现临床症状7天后死亡。对该动物进行了全面的病理和微生物学评估。
结果
病理检查显示严重的急性出血性结肠炎、嗜中性粒细胞性脾炎、肾小球肾炎和间质性肺炎。从肠系膜淋巴结中分离出肠炎沙门氏菌婴儿亚种。
结论
确诊为与肠炎沙门氏菌婴儿亚种相关的出血性结肠炎。
