Descriptive, Exploratory Analysis of Microbial Community Composition Across Stages of Canine Periodontal Disease Revealed by 16S rRNA Sequencing in Dogs
Periodontal disease (PD) is one of the most prevalent oral conditions in dogs, yet the microbial dynamics underlying its progression remain incompletely understood. This exploratory study aimed to describe the canine oral microbiome across four clinical stages using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Dogs were categorized as He...
