Dynamic picture of the pig gut microbiota under normal and pathological conditions

The study aimed to capture a comprehensive view of the SI microbiome across various life stages, from early post-weaning to slaughter under normal conditions. using a a novel sampling capsule called CapSa, enabling the non-invasive collection of intestinal microbiota samples. This study details the quantitative and qualitative shifts in the SI's microbiota over time in the same pigs.Additionally, a second study aimed to examine the evolution of the gut microbiota following an ETEC infection, using CapSa to sample the microbiota from the same pigs from two weeks post-infection until slaughter.
