Comparison between cultured small-intestinal and fecal microbiotas in beagle dogs

Article Abstract:

The similarity or dissimilarity of the microbial findings in small-intestinal fluid (jejunal chyme) and feces collected from beagle dogs are examined. It is concluded that the qualitative and quantitative differences between the corresponding jejunal and fecal samples indicate the inability of fecal samples to represent the microbiotas present in the upper gut.

The diversity of coliphages and coliforms in horse feces reveals a complex pattern of ecological interactions

Article Abstract:

A study to examine the relation between coliphages and their bacterial hosts in the microbic community of the horse bowel is presented. Results conclude that colliphages effectively control their hosts for selecting phage-resistant variants.
