Abstract

The article focuses on developing a standardized protocol for washing environmental microbes from amphibian skin. It provides information about the skin morphology of different amphibian species and the increasing understanding of amphibian microbial communities in relation to wildlife disease. It also discusses the use of plethodontid salamanders in conducting identical protocols.
