Effects of florfenicol on gut microbiome composition and network structure in Nile tilapia
Using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, this study aimed at investigating the effects of florfenicol as a common veterinary antibiotic in aquaculture on the gut microbiome of adult Nile tilapia individuals (Oreochromis niloticus). The major goal was to bridge commonly used diversity metrics as the current standard for dysbiosis evaluation with changes in microbial co-occurence networks and hub taxa.
