Studying the variability of intestinal microbiome in mice to better understand the Human microbiome

  • Mouse intestinal microbiota in controlled environment is transversally inherited and remains stable under controlled conditions
  • Variations in normal intestinal microbiota does not seem to really impact physiological parameters
  • Studying Host – Microbial genetics interactions: evaluate microbiota composition in a large number of knock-out mouse
