Composition and Predicted Metabolic Capacity of Upper and Lower Airway Microbiota of Healthy Dogs in Relation to the Fecal Microbiota
Fig 2
Operational taxonomic unit-level composition of fecal and airway microbiota.
Bar charts showing relative abundance of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in the phylum Proteobacteria (A) or all other phyla (B) detected in feces, nasal swabs, oropharyngeal swabs, or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) collected from 16 intact adult female dogs. Predominant OTUs detected in airway samples are labeled. Samples are shown in the same order, within each collection site, i.e., the first bar from each sample site was collected from the same dog.
