    Methods for the analysis of microbiota have advanced significantly in recent years, do you think that their study could be useful in the control of Salmonella or Campylobacter in the farm environment?

    Indeed, the study of the microbiota, mainly on-site, is a powerful tool to assess how any new biosecurity measure established on the farm influences the intestinal microbiota balance. Tools like MinIon allow us to make decisions as quickly as possible to stop the transmission of the pathogen between animals.

    The MinION is a sequencing platform that offers near real-time analysis of DNA sequence in situ; this makes the tool attractive for deployment in fieldwork or clinical settings.

    It is the size of a mobile phone and is very useful for assessing alterations in microbial balance.
