Genetically modifying skin microbe to produce violacein and augmenting microbiome did not defend Panamanian golden frogs from disease

We designed two probiotic treatments to control chytridiomycosis caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) on infected Panamanian golden frogs (Atelopus zeteki), a species that is thought to be extinct in the wild due to Bd.
