However, it is unclear which taxa are associated with gut dysbiosis, and if particular gut regions or specific time periods during ontogeny are more susceptible. We also know very little of this process in non-model organisms, despite an increasing realization of the general importance of gut microbiota for health.enDysbacteriosisGut microbiotaMicrobial diversityInflammationGastrointestinal tractArticle
