Fatal Chryseobacterium indologenes infection in a captive red‐shanked Douc langur (Pygathrix nemaeus)

We report a case of fatal Chryseobacterium indologenes infection in a captive juvenile red-shanked Douc langur in Singapore Zoo. The animal was treated for suspected melioidosis but died within 48 h. Chryseobacterium indolegenes was isolated from the liver and should be included as a differential for bacterial infections in the tropics.
