WEB-039A: The field of gnotobiology has grown substantially in the past decade concomitantly with the rise of microbiome research. Some institutions are establishing centrally-managed gnotobiotics programs for the specialized housing, husbandry, and technical services. In this context, laboratory animal science professionals are often leveraged for their knowledge and expertise in rodent husbandry and care. While similarities exist between the operation of a gnotobiotics program and a standard animal facility, numerous important differences exist. The goal of this webinar is to discuss the core elements of gnotobiotics program and how these systems differ from standard rodent housing. This webinar will discuss elements that can contribute to success in a gnotobiotics program including facility requirements and retrofitting, staff development, managements of costs and labor, and microbiological monitoring.
