This two day course focuses on the microbiota of laboratory rodents and on the management of facilities that breed and use gnotobiotic animals.
The influence of microbiota in numerous aspects of animal normal physiology and its involvement in the development of many diseases will be illustrated.
The renowned speakers will provide cutting-edge information on the breeding, maintenance, experimental use, and care of gnotobiotic rodent strains.
