Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Kristopher A. Bottoms' research primarily investigates host-microbe interactions, particularly within the swine gut microbiome, and explores nutritional interventions to improve animal health and growth performance. His work includes comprehensive cultivation of the swine gut microbiome to understand bacterial diversity and guide isolation. Bottoms has studied the effects of dietary organic acids and probiotics, such as Lactylate and Bacillus subtilis, on growth, gut microbiota, and immune responses in nursery pigs. He also examines factors influencing fecal microbiota transplantation outcomes, including donor age and body weight. His research extends to veterinary applications, including the development of drug delivery systems like multicomponent microneedle patches for meloxicam. Bottoms collaborates extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Charles V Maxwell, Jiangchao Zhao, Yan Huang, and Katherine A. Miranda-Muñoz.
