Regionalization of intestinal microbiota and metabolites in the small intestine of the Bactrian camel
The intestinal microenvironment of Bactrian camels displays distinct regional disparities, which we propose are associated with variations in immunological function throughout different segments of the small intestine. This study highlights the specific traits of the intestinal microbiota and metabolites in Bactrian camels, offering a valuable reference for understanding the relationship between regional intestinal immunity and the general health and disease of the host.
