Gut microbiota of Australian sea lion pups

Australian sea lion pups were treated with topical ivermectin for endemic hookworm infection. The gut microbiota of both untreated and treated pups was characterised to determine whether treatment altered the composition of the gut microbiota.

本研究针对澳大利亚海狮幼崽的地方性钩虫感染，采用局部外用伊维菌素进行治疗；并对未接受治疗与接受治疗的幼崽的肠道微生物群（gut microbiota）开展表征分析，以明确该治疗是否会改变肠道微生物群的组成。
