- Abstract
Necropsy findings of three deceased orangutans from BMOUI were assessed to explore Klebsiella pneumoniae infections among captivated nonhuman primates (NHP) in Malaysia. The diagnosis was developed based on reported symptoms and necropsy findings. Necropsy examination revealed significant lesions correlated with bronchopneumonia, bronchitis, pericarditis, and myocarditis in all three cases. K. pneumoniae was isolated from multiple organs of all orangutans. The emergence of K. pneumoniae infection cases among endangered species raised a major concern among veterinarians and zoologists globally. This case study contributes invaluable information on the K. pneumoniae infection in NHP species.
