16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of cecal microbiota in broilers challenged with avian pathogenic Escherichia coli and treated with Sihuang Zhili Granules
This BioProject contains 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data from cecal content samples collected from broilers experimentally challenged with avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC O78). The study was conducted to investigate the effects of Sihuang Zhili Granules on cecal microbiota changes associated with APEC infection and treatment response. Samples were collected from control, APEC-challenged, and Sihuang Zhili Granules-treated groups under the experimental design described in the corresponding study. These data support analyses of gut microbial community composition and treatment-associated microbiota modulation in broilers.
