Microbiome and zoonotic bacterial distribution across body sites, species, and seasons in Korean cave bats
This study characterises the microbiome composition and zoonotic bacterial distribution across three body sites (oral, skin, stool) in eight insectivorous bat species (Myotis fuliginosus, M. macrodactylus, M. ombinus, M. petax, M. aurascens, M. ikonnikovi, Pipistrellus abramus, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) sampled from cave sites across South Korea between 2021 and 2024.
