16S rRNA Sequencing of Fecal Microbiota Transplants (FMT) and Microbial Cultures from Commercially Available Canine and Feline FMT Products
This study aimed to assess the microbial viability of commercially available FMT products compared to freshly processed in-house fresh and lyophilized canine and feline FMT products. FMT products were cultured on CNA and MacConkey Agar, colonies were collected, combined, and subjected to 16S rRNA sequencing to assess the diversity and viable microbes.
