OBJECTIVE: To characterize the bacterial community residing on the conjunctiva of clinically healthy dogs. METHODS: Bacterial DNA from conjunctival swabs of 10 dogs with normal ocular examinations (both OD and OS, n = 20) was extracted, and 16S rRNA amplicons were sequenced using Illumina MiSeq 600.
