The faecal microbiome of the wild European badger <i>Meles meles</i> ; a comparison against other wild omnivorous mammals from across the globe

2022-03-17

Abstract excerpt

Here we investigate the faecal microbiome of wild European badgers Meles meles using samples collected at post-mortem as part of the All Wales Badger Found Dead study based on sequencing the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. This is the first published characterisation of the badger microbiome. We initially undertook a sex-matched age comparison between the adult and cub microbiomes. Analysis used the QIIME 2 pi...
