Variable Colonization after Reciprocal Fecal Microbiota Transfer between Mice with Low and High Richness Microbiota
23 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
Several associations have been made between characteristics of the resident gut microbiota and human health and disease susceptibility. Animal models provide the means to test these correlations prospectively and evaluate causality. Experimental fecal microbiota transfer (FMT), or the intentional transplantation of gut microbes into recipient mice depleted of their autochthonous microbes with antibiotics, is a...
