Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of the Canine Gut Microbiome and Metabolome in Health and Gastrointestinal Disease
Rachel Pilla,Jan S. Suchodolski +1 more
TL;DR: A recently developed PCR-based algorithm termed “Dysbiosis Index” is a tool that allows veterinarians to quantify gut dysbiosis and can be used to monitor disease progression and response to treatment, and strategies to manipulate the gut microbiome may be useful for GI related diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of metronidazole on the fecal microbiome and metabolome in healthy dogs.
Rachel Pilla,Frédéric Gaschen,James W. Barr,Erin Olson,Julia B. Honneffer,Blake C. Guard,Amanda B. Blake,Dean Villanueva,Mohammad R. Khattab,Mustafa Alshawaqfeh,Jonathan A. Lidbury,Jörg M. Steiner,Jan S. Suchodolski +12 more
TL;DR: The results indicate a minimum 4‐week effect of metronidazole on fecal microbiome and metabolome, supporting a cautious approach to prescription of metronside in dogs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hygienic and health characteristics of donkey milk during a follow-up study.
TL;DR: The results of this study confirmed the low prevalence of intramammary infections in donkey and the absence of food-borne pathogens, suggesting that donkey milk could be a safe food, if the mammary gland is healthy and the animals are milked in proper hygienic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The autophagic machinery ensures nonlytic transmission of mycobacteria.
Lilli Gerstenmaier,Rachel Pilla,Lydia Herrmann,Hendrik Herrmann,Monica Prado,Geno J. Villafano,Margot Kolonko,Rudolph Reimer,Thierry Soldati,Jason S. King,Monica Hagedorn +10 more
TL;DR: This study explains how the host cell remains intact and alive while Mycobacterium marinum breaks through its plasma membrane during ejection, and reveals an unexpected function for the autophagic machinery in nonlytic spreading of bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fecal Microbial and Metabolic Profiles in Dogs With Acute Diarrhea Receiving Either Fecal Microbiota Transplantation or Oral Metronidazole.
Jennifer Chaitman,Anna-Lena Ziese,Rachel Pilla,Yasushi Minamoto,Amanda B. Blake,Blake C. Guard,Anitah Isaiah,Jonathan A. Lidbury,Jörg M. Steiner,Stefan Unterer,Jan S. Suchodolski +10 more
TL;DR: Fecal consistency improved significantly in dogs treated with FMT and MET by day 7 and day 28, while Dogs treated with MET still had altered microbial and metabolic profiles at day 28 compared to dogs treatedwith FMT or healthy dogs.
