Canine nasal microbiota
Nasal samples were collected from dogs with and without dermatological conditions at baseline and follow-up. The samples underwent 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Microbiota analyses showed that the follow-up nasal samples of dogs with dermatological conditions had decreased microbiota diversity and abundance compared to dogs without dermatological conditions. This work shows that there was a dysbiosis in the nasal microbiota of dogs with dermatological conditions.
