Doxycycline induces dysbiosis in female C57BL/6NCrl mice.

BMC research notes | 2017

This study aims to demonstrate the effect of oral doxycycline on fecal microbiota of mice. Doxycycline is a common effector for control of gene expression using the tet-inducible system in transgenic mice. The effect of oral doxycycline on murine gut microbiota has not been reported. We evaluated the effect of doxycycline treatment by sequencing the V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene from fecal samples collected during a 4 week course of treatment at a dose of 2 mg/ml in the drinking water.

Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Center (tool)

RRID:SCR_002953

National public repository system for mutant mice. Archives and distributes scientifically valuable spontaneous and induced mutant mouse strains and ES cell lines for use by biomedical research community. Includes breeding/distribution facilities and information coordinating center. Mice strains are cryopreserved, unless live colony must be established. Live mice are supplied from production colony, from colony recovered from cryopreservation, or via micro-injection of cell line into host blastocysts. MMRRC member facilities also develop technologies to improve handling of mutant mice, including advances in assisted reproductive techniques, cryobiology, genetic analysis, phenotyping and infectious disease diagnostics.
