Abstrakt: |
Reproducible in vivomodels are necessary to address functional aspects of the gut microbiome in various diseases. Here, we present a gnotobiotic mouse model that allows for the investigation of specific microbial functions within the microbiome. We describe how to culture 14 different well-characterized human gut species and how to verify their proper colonization in germ-free mice. This protocol can be modified to add or remove certain species of interest to investigate microbial mechanistic details in various disease models. |
