Comparison of Co-housing and Littermate Methods for Microbiota Standardization in Mouse Models
Summary: The intestinal microbiota is a fundamental factor that broadly influences physiology. Thus, studies using transgenic animals should be designed to limit the confounding effects of microbiota variation between strains. Here, we report the impact on intestinal microbiota of co-housed versus F...
