Disentangling the link between zebrafish diet, gut microbiome succession, and Mycobacterium chelonae infection

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Despite the long-established importance of zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model organism and their increasing use in microbiome-targeted studies, relatively little is known about how husbandry practices involving diet impact the zebrafish gut microbiome. Given the microbiome's important role in mediating host physiology and the potential for diet to drive variation in microbiome composition, we sought...
