Abstract
E. tarda was isolated from the peritoneal exudate of a Steller''s sea lion (Eumetopias jubata) with peritonitis resulting from a perforating colonic ulcer; from the liver of a harbor porpoise (Phocaena phocoena) with metritis and peritonitis sequela to dystocia; and from the liver of a California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) with peritonitis following fracture and necrosis of a lumbar vertebra. E. tarda is a common opportunistic invader in sick or injured marine mammals.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
