Profiling bacterial communities in feedlot cattle affected with bovine foot rot and bovine digital dermatitis lesions using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR
These results further the evidence of the involvement of Treponema spp., in BDD in feedlot cattle. However, it suggests further exploration of the role of Fusobacterium spp. in BFR and BDD. Importantly, a discriminating polybacterial involvement in these infections was evident demonstrated by changes in the population of multiple bacteria when compared to healthy animals.
