16S rRNA sequencing of gut microbiota from jejunal digesta in piglets
This study investigates the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge on the gut microbial community in the jejunal digesta of piglets, and evaluates the modulatory role of salvianolic acid B (SAB) intervention. Three experimental groups were included: CON-SS (control), CON-LPS (LPS challenge only), and SAB-LPS (LPS challenge with SAB intervention). We performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze the alterations in microbial composition and diversity. The raw sequencing data are deposited to support our findings on the intestinal inflammatory response and the potential protective effects of SAB.
