Structural and Functional Insights into the Gut Microbiota and Its ARG/VFG Profiles in Horses with Diarrhea
16S rDNA is a high-throughput sequencing technique for all bacteria in a specific environment (or habitat) sample to study the composition of microbial communities in environmental samples, interpret the diversity, richness, and population structure of microbial communities, and explore the relationship between microorganisms and the environment or host. Traditional microbial research relies on laboratory cultivation, and the rise of high-throughput sequencing such as 16S amplicons has filled the research gap for microorganisms that cannot be cultured in traditional laboratories, expanded the utilization space of microbial resources, and provided effective tools for studying microbial interactions.
