  abstract = {{T}he close phylogenetic relationship between humans and other primates creates exceptionally high potential for pathogen exchange. {T}he surveillance of pathogens in primates plays an important role in anticipating possible outbreaks. {I}n this study, we conducted a molecular investigation of pathogenic bacteria in feces from {A}frican nonhuman primates ({NHP}s). {W}e also investigated the pathogens shared by the human population and gorillas living in the same territory in the {R}epublic of {C}ongo. {I}n total, 93% of {NHP}s (n=176) and 95% (n=38) of humans were found to carry at least one bacterium. {N}on-pallidum {T}reponema spp. (including {T}. succinifaciens, {T}. berlinense, and several potential new species) were recovered from stools of 70% of great apes, 88% of monkeys, and 79% of humans. {N}on-tuberculosis {M}ycobacterium spp. were also common in almost all {NHP} species as well as in humans. {I}n addition, {A}cinetobacter spp., members of the primate gut microbiota, were mainly prevalent in human and gorilla. {P}athogenic {L}eptospira spp. were highly present in humans (82%) and gorillas (66%) stool samples in {C}ongo, but were absent in the other {NHP}s, therefore suggesting a possible gorillas-humans exchange. {P}articular attention will be necessary for enteropathogenic bacteria detected in humans such as {H}elicobacter pylori, {S}almonella spp. (including {S}. typhi/paratyphi), {S}taphyloccocus aureus, and {T}ropheryma whipplei, some of which were also present in gorillas in the same territory ({S}. aureus and {T}. whipplei). {T}his study enhances our knowledge of pathogenic bacteria that threaten {A}frican {NHP}s and humans by using a non-invasive sampling technique. {C}ontact between humans and {NHP}s results in an exchange of pathogens. {O}ngoing surveillance, prevention, and treatment strategies alone will limit the spread of these infectious agents.},
