Metagenome shotgun sequencing allows insights into the functional potential of the vaginal microbiome associated with pelvic organ prolapse in sows

Abstract Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a leading cause for sow mortality in the United States. Recent work has evaluated biological factors associated with POP, and differences have been observed within the vaginal microbiota of sows at high risk using 16S rRNA gene amplicon seq...
