Attempts to colonise the gut of Galleria mellonella with infant gut bacteria through feeding infant faecal slurry. Galleria as a model for the infant gut microbiome

This study aimed to assess the viability of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella as a host for the infant gut microbiome. This involved clearing the Galleria gut of its native microbiome through antibiotic treatment, and then colonisation using infant faecal slurry.
