title: Morganelliasis pneumonia in a captive jaguar.
abstract: Suppurative bronchopneumonia was discovered in a 6-yr-old male jaguar (Panthera onca onca) that died after a 1 wk history of anorexia, depression, and respiratory difficulty. Morganella morganii was isolated as a pure culture from the lung, spleen, and heart blood. This is the first record of M. morganii induced pneumonia in a jaguar.
