Murine microbiome models commonly used to study the host-microbiome interactions. Antibiotic-treated mice (AT) can be obtained by depleting gut microbiota of wild-type mice (AT) with broad-spectrum antibiotics. Gnotobiotic mice (GT) are derived by colonization of germ-free mice (GF) with a defined microbe. GT mice can be produced using bacterial species associated with human microbiome.
