A Sarcina bacterium linked to lethal disease in sanctuary chimpanzees in Sierra Leone
Infections with bacteria of the genus Sarcina are associated with gastric diseases of unclear etiology. Here, Owens et al. show that infection with a distinct Sarcina species is strongly associated with a lethal disease that affects sanctuary chimpanzees in Sierra Leone.
