Abstract As a specialist herbivore, koalas rely on their gut microbiomes to help digest their toxic and fibrous diet of Eucalyptus leaves. Without these critical microbes, koalas may not be able to obtain the nutrients and energy they need to survive. As such, a large proportion of koalas that undergo rehabilitation for chlamydiosis develop gut dysbiosis from the antibiotic treatment and are either euthanized or die.
