The impact of dromedary camel milk on mice gut microbiota

Abstract The gut microbiota plays an important role in the health and disease resistance of host. Host depends on gastrointestinal tract, imbalance its composition may leads to certain diseases. This study analyzed influence that dromedary camel milk has mice. characterized bacterial populations untreated [Control (C) milk-treated Raw (R), Pasteurized (P), Fermented (F)] C57BL/6 J mice feces using high-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing Illumina MiSeq platform. In total, 286,606 tags were generated, with average 71,651 being generated per group, these clustered operational taxonomic units (OTUs) at 97% sequence similarity, resulting 1090 OTUs. Significant weight gain was observed among all groups, total cholesterol level declined F group followed by P compared C. groups demonstrated a correlation between beneficial structures corresponded lower levels than those other groups. major dominant bacteria correspond phyla Bacteroidetes Firmicutes . propagated ( Allobaculum Akkermansia ) reduced harmful such as Proteobacteria , Erysipelotrichaceae, Desulfovibrionaceae provides comparative analysis based milk, which be helpful understanding host diverse microbial conditions.
