Comparative analysis of the lung microbiota in pneumonic and non-pneumonic lambs
This project investigates differences in the lung bacterial microbiota between pneumonic and non-pneumonic lambs using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Lung samples were collected during necropsy and classified as pneumonic or non-pneumonic based on macroscopic and histopathological examination. The study aims to characterize bacterial community composition and diversity and to identify microbiota patterns associated with pneumonia in lambs.
