Contaminants and Where to Find Them: Microbiological Quality Control in Axenic Animal Facilities

Contaminants and Where to Find Them: Microbiological Quality Control in Axenic Animal Facilities

The use of axenic animal models in experimental research has exponentially grown in the past few years and the most reliable way for confirming their axenic status remains unclear. It is especially the case when using individual ventilated positive-pressure cages such as the Isocage. This type of ca...
