Fecal microbiota Targeted loci
C57BL/6J mice, 12 weeks of age, were treated with collagen (arthritis-inducing agent), EBV DNA 6 days before collagen, EBV DNA alone, or water. Fecal samples were collected from arthritic and control mice and 16S rRNA sequencing was carried out to determine the effect of EBV DNA on the composition of colonic microbiota.
