Chronic exposure to ampicillin alters lung microbial composition in laboratory rat
AbstractsBackground: High-throughput sequencing technologies have revealed that the lungs contain a variety of low biomass microbiota associated with various lung diseases. Rat The rat model is an important tool to understand the possible causal relationship of between pulmonary microbiota in diseases. However, a direct influence of long-term ampicillin exposure on commensal bacteria of healthy lungs has not been investigated thus far.
