External bacterial diversity on bats in the southwestern United States: Changes in bacterial community structure above and below ground

2016-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Microorganisms that reside on and in mammals, such as bats, have the potential to influence their host’s health and to provide potential defenses against invading pathogens. However, we have little to no understanding of the external bacterial microbiome on bats, or factors that influence the structure of these communities. The southwestern United States offers excellent sites for the study of external bat bacteri...
