Biology in context.
We study microbial systems, exposure, and genomic evidence in the context of the animal, species, and care setting.
Microbiome & animal health
Studying how microbial communities differ across species, body sites, developmental stages, and health states.
Antimicrobials resistance
Examining microbial changes after antimicrobial exposure and the resistance-associated genes that accompany them.
Genomics interpretation
Using sequencing and analytical methods to characterize microorganisms and interpret biological evidence.

A curated selection from the research portfolio, with the central question, study context, and original publication.
Metagenomic analysis of the camel rumen archaeome and its functional potential
Abdelmegeid M, Zeineldin M, Seboussi R, Mohamadin M, Alharthi AS, Mansour N, Okasha LA, Elolimy AA & Saliu E-M.
A metagenomic study of seven racing camels describes the archaea living in the rumen and their predicted metabolic functions, including methane production.
Study context: The sampled animals showed a broadly conserved archaeal community. The small, single-location study is descriptive; it provides a basis for further research into camel rumen biology.
Impact of Parenteral Ceftiofur on Developmental Dynamics of Early Life Fecal Microbiota and Antibiotic Resistome in Neonatal Lambs
Donia M, Aref N-E, Zeineldin M, Megahed A, Blair B, Lowe J & Aldridge B.
A study of 24 neonatal lambs follows changes in gut microbial communities and resistance-associated genes after early-life ceftiofur exposure.
Study context: The work examines both microbiome disruption and recovery over time, alongside resistance-related findings. It connects antimicrobial exposure with questions about early microbial development.
Host-specific signatures of the respiratory microbiota in domestic animals
Zeineldin M & Barakat R.
An analysis of respiratory microbiome datasets across cats, dogs, pigs, donkeys, chickens, sheep, and cattle identifies host-specific microbial patterns.
Study context: Microbial composition also varied with study, health status, and sampling location. This makes species and sampling context important when interpreting respiratory microbiome findings.
Whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium bovis directly from clinical tissue samples without culture
Zeineldin M, Camp P, Farrell D, Lehman K & Thacker T.
The study evaluates targeted enrichment to sequence Mycobacterium bovis directly from infected tissue, avoiding the need to culture the organism first.
Study context: The method was evaluated with spiked material and naturally and experimentally infected tissue. Direct sequencing offers a route toward faster genomic characterization in research and diagnostic settings.
Metagenomic Analysis of the Fecal Archaeome in Suckling Piglets Following Perinatal Tulathromycin Metaphylaxis
Zeineldin M, Megahed A, Blair B, Aldridge B & Lowe J.
The study follows gut archaeal communities in suckling piglets after perinatal tulathromycin administration.
Study context: Archaeal communities changed during the suckling period, while treatment-group differences in their composition and diversity were not statistically significant. The findings provide context for studying early-life microbial development.
These are academic research publications. Each article sets out its own methods, study population, findings, and limitations.
Different hosts. Different microbial patterns.
Research across seven domestic animal species shows why the host matters when interpreting respiratory microbial communities. The same biological signal needs to be understood in the context of the animal and how the sample was collected.
Mohamed Zeineldin, PhD
Dr. Zeineldin founded VetBiomeX with a clear belief: better animal-health decisions begin by understanding the complete picture of the animal.
His vision is to connect veterinary science, biological data, everyday observations, and Digital Twin technology—helping animal owners, caregivers, and veterinary professionals recognize meaningful changes earlier and act with greater confidence.
This vision shapes an expanding portfolio that includes Camel3D, VERA PET, and microbiome-informed animal-health solutions across species and care settings.
