A 3-year-old male koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) was evaluated because of severe acute respiratory distress. Despite medical treatment, the koala died. Gross and histologic lesions consistent with acute bacterial pneumonia were identified at necropsy and Bordetella bronchiseptica was isolated from pulmonary tissue. There are 2 prior reports from Australia of fatal B bronchiseptica pneumonia in captive koalas.
一只3岁雄性考拉（树袋熊，学名：Phascolarctos cinereus）因严重急性呼吸窘迫接受评估。尽管进行了药物治疗，这只考拉还是死亡了。尸检发现有与急性细菌性肺炎相符的大体和组织学病变，并从肺组织中分离出支气管败血博德特氏菌。此前澳大利亚有两份关于圈养考拉因支气管败血博德特氏菌肺炎致死的报告。
