Equine Blood Microbiome in a Cohort of Clinically Healthy Trail Riding Horses
Clinically healthy horses had a diverse blood microbiome. Despite the relative isolation of the horses, their blood microbiota varied markedly among individuals. Investigating the bacteria in clinically healthy horse blood provides new insight into possible microbiome shifts that may result in clinical disease.
