Research advancements on the diversity and host interaction of gut microbiota in chickens

Abstract excerpt

The maintenance of host health and immune function is heavily dependent on the gut microbiota. However, the precise contribution of individual microbial taxa to regulating the overall functionality of the gut microbiome remains inadequately investigated. Chickens are commonly used as models for studying poultry gut microbiota, with high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing has emerged as a valuable tool for assessing...
