Pathogen defense is considered a key function of microbiomes, but determining microbiome stability during disease is critical for understanding the role of resident microbial communities in infectious disease dynamics. Here, we characterize the ocular bacterial microbiome of house finches (\n                    <jats:italic>Haemorhous mexicanus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), prior to and during experimental infection with an inflammatory ocular disease, Mycoplasmal conjunctivitis, caused by\n                    <jats:italic>Mycoplasma gallisepticum<\/jats:italic>\n                    . In ocular tissues of healthy house finches, we identified 526 total bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs, 97% similarity), primarily from Firmicutes (92.6%) and Proteobacteria (6.9%), via 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Resident ocular communities of healthy female finches were characterized by greater evenness and phylogenetic diversity compared to healthy male finches. Regardless of sex, ocular microbiome community structure significantly shifted 11 days after experimental inoculation with\n                    <jats:italic>M. gallisepticum<\/jats:italic>\n                    . A suite of OTUs, including taxa from the genera\n                    <jats:italic>Methylobacterium, Acinetobacter<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Mycoplasma<\/jats:italic>\n                    , appear to drive these changes, indicating that the whole finch ocular microbiome responds to infection. Further study is needed to quantify changes in absolute abundance of resident taxa and to elucidate potential functional roles of the resident ocular microbiome in mediating individual responses to this common songbird bacterial pathogen.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1462-2920.13625","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,21]],"date-time":"2016-11-21T18:31:17Z","timestamp":1479753077000},"page":"1439-1449","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Eye of the Finch: characterization of the ocular microbiome of house finches in relation to mycoplasmal conjunctivitis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Courtney A.","family":"Thomason","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Virginia Tech Blacksburg VA USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ariel","family":"Leon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Virginia Tech Blacksburg VA USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laila T.","family":"Kirkpatrick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Virginia Tech Blacksburg VA USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa K.","family":"Belden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Virginia Tech Blacksburg VA USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dana M.","family":"Hawley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Virginia Tech Blacksburg VA USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"Abelson M.B.
