Detección de alto rendimiento de aislados microbianos con impacto en la salud de Caenorhabditis elegans

Overview

This study explores how gut microbes affect the health of their host, utilizing the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to screen for bacterial isolates. The protocol details a high-throughput screening approach to assess the impact of 48 bacterial isolates on the oxidative thermal stress resistance in C.elegans, establishing a method for evaluating nematode health.
