title: Isolation of Trueperella pyogenes in a case of thoracic and abdominal abscess in a galago (Otolemur garnettii).
abstract: An adult male galago (Otolemur garnettii) presented for fight wounds following pairing for breeding. Treatment was symptomatic with recovery. Following resolution, the animal re-presented and died, despite additional treatment.
  
  
  
  Necropsy, histopathology, bacterial cultures, and 16S RNA sequencing.
  
  
  
  A large intrathoracic/intra-abdominal abscess due to Trueperella pyogenes was found at necropsy.
  
  
  
  T. pyogenes should be considered in abscesses/wounds of galagos.
