Dynamic picture of the pig gut’s microbiota under normal and pathological conditions
This study monitored porcine intestinal microbiota dynamics using an ingestible capsule. In healthy pigs, microbial composition changes occurred from post-weaning to slaughter. In contrast, ETEC infection only minimally altered communities, though small differences at slaughter suggest lasting impacts.
