Skin and Gut Microbiome Features Associated with Resistance to Corynebacterium bovis-Associated Disease in Nude Mice (Mus musculus)
Corynebacterium bovis is an important opportunistic pathogen of immunodeficient mice and the etiologic agent of Corynebacterium-associated hyperkeratosis (CAH). Although disease severity varies, specific vendor-derived microbiomes have been shown to protect against CAH. Preinoculation with nonpathogenic Corynebacterium amycolatum prior to C. bovis infection has been demonstrated to limit disease…
