Just as beneficial microbes in the human gut can be affected by antibiotics, diet interventions and other disturbances, the microbiomes of other animals can also be upset. In a rare study, a researcher with the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (
SOEST), determined the skin microbiome of an endangered frog was altered when the frogs were infected by a specific fungus, and it did not recover to its initial state even when the frog was cured of the infection.

There s so much information that s out there that you know, people are doing their own research and then there s this belief that it s a political thing it s not real.
