Hello, anyone knows if it's possible to collect mice' skin (back) microbiome w/o hair shaving it?

16 January 2022 0 6K Report

Are there other relevant techniques other than swabbing method? (maybe dilute with some solutions). Swabbing may require hair shaving which might alter microbiota composition of the skin.
