This is of clinical relevance as wet bottom is often assumed to be caused by C. This study provides the foundation for future investigations of causes of koala wet bottom, other than C. These four Tissierellaceae OTUs were all significantly more abundant in koalas with wet bottom. The families Aerococcaceae and Tissierellaceae both had four significantly differentially abundant OTUs. After normalising reads using DESeq2 and testing for significant differences ( P < 0.05), there were 25 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) more commonly found in one group over the other. The order Lactobacillales, within the Firmicutes, comprised 70.3% of the reads from all samples. We detected thirteen phyla across the ten samples, with Firmicutes occurring at the highest relative abundance (77.6%).
Five urogenital samples were processed from koalas presenting with wet bottom and five were clinically normal. We used 16S rRNA diversity profiling to investigate the microbiome of the urogenital tract of ten female koalas in order to identify potential causative agents of wet bottom, other than C. pecorum, suggesting other causative agents in those individuals.
#Koala wet free
However, wet bottom has been recorded in koalas free of C. The clinical sign of ‘wet bottom’, a staining of the rump associated with urinary incontinence, is often caused by chlamydial urinary tract infections.
#Koala wet driver
Infection with Chlamydia pecorum, is considered a key driver of population decline. Adopt pets from your local animal rescues/shelters, there are plenty of animals just waiting for a home.Koalas ( Phascolarctos cinereus) are iconic Australian marsupials currently threatened by several processes, including infectious diseases and ecological disruption.
