Characterization of Conjunctival Bacterial Flora of Healthy Laboratory‐Housed New Zealand White Rabbits
Despite the predominance of Gram-positive isolates, M. cuniculi was identified as the predominant species in the conjunctival flora of healthy NZW rabbits, both in frequency and bacterial load. These findings contribute to a more detailed characterization of the ocular microbiota in this commonly used laboratory model.
