20.500.12556/RUL-128035 Impact of type of parturition on colostrum microbiota composition and puppy survival The objective of our study was to determine whether the type of parturition affects the microbiota of the colostrum and the growth and survival of the puppies. Seventy-nine newborn puppies were divided into three groups regarding the type of parturition: vaginal delivery (VD), elective caesarean section (EL-CS), and emergency caesarean section (EM-CS). After the birth of the puppies, swabs of meconium were collected from the puppies and colostrum was obtained from the dam. Many aerobic and anaerobic bacteria were isolated and identified by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The colostrum microbiota of VD and EL-CS puppies contained a significantly higher abundance of bacteria belonging to the genera Staphylococcus, Kocuria and Enterococcus compared with EM-CS colostrum samples. The composition of the meconium microbiota of the puppies present at birth was similar to the colostrum microbiota of their mothers. It was also found that puppies without a meconium microbiota at birth gained weight more slowly compared with puppies with a meconium microbiota at birth. The type of parturition influenced the bacterial composition of the microbiota in the colostrum. Future studies are necessary to further define the significance of the observed differences in microbiota composition between EM-CS compared with EL-CS and VD colostrum microbiota. neonatology birth puppies microbiota parturition physiology animals newborn microbiology dogs true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2021-07-01 13:29:38 2021-07-01 13:29:39 2022-09-07 04:12:52 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 17 str. iss. 7, art. 1897 Vol. 11 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 618.2:636.7.038:579.62 2076-2615 10.3390/ani11071897 68601603 RAZ_Kajdic_Leonida_2021.pdf RAZ_Kajdic_Leonida_2021.pdf 1 A417D6CE3D1D993088F527F5E9A960BB 7f5a9e6b1c4de790ce76c6c92755d286e8b75cc92f98ec3d79d3bbc4e8720b4e 17c5f448-ac1b-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154910 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/11/7/1897 1 7f9806c7-da5f-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=144663 Veterinarska fakulteta 0 0 0
