The information about the death from pneumonia of monkeys kept in captivity for the period 2014-2017 is presented in this article. Frequency of pneumonia and seasonality are shown. A spectrum of microorganisms isolated from the lungs of dead monkeys was established. More than half of the isolated bacteria belonged to the Gram-negative microflora (61.4 %). The second place in the frequency of occurrence is Gram-positive coccal microflora (38.6 %). The prevailing microorganisms encountered in pneumonia were E. coli (40.0 %) and S. aureus (33.6 %), that were found both in monoculture and in associations. One of the features of pneumonia in monkeys is high frequency of polymicrobial associations. Most often S.aureus occurs in combination with E. coli and Proteus spp.

Pneumonia-associated mortality of different monkey species in captivity in 2017 has been analyzed. The animal death frequency and seasonality was demonstrated. Pneumonia-associated mortality in baby monkeys and old monkeys exceeds the mortality of infants and mature animals. The maximum pneumonia-mortality rate in monkeys was observed in February, April and May. The spectrum of microorganisms recovered from lungs of dead animals was identified. The prevailing bacterial flora detected in case of pneumonia was Staphylococcus aureus (43.1%) and Escherichia coli (34.9%), which were detected both in monoculture and communities. One of the peculiarities of pneumonia in monkeys is high occurrence of polymicrobial communities. Most frequently S. aureus is observed in combinations with E. coli (52.5%). All recovered S. aureus cultures were methicillin-sensitive and did not have gene mecA in their genome. During performance of bacteriological tests of autopsy material the lung tissue samples can get contaminated with the foreign flora that’s why it’s quite difficult to speak about the role of these and those microorganisms as major disease agents.
