Effects of cadmium and diethylhexyl phthalate on skin microbiota of Rana chinensis tadpoles

Our findings indicate that R. chensinensis' skin experienced some degree of injury due to exposure to Cd and DEHP, which led to the imbalance of their skin microbial community homeostasis, and thus interfered with the normal trial status of the host. That may eventually lead to the decline of the amphibian population.
