The skin microbiome on healthy and inflammatory altered canine skin determined by next generation sequencing

Abstract excerpt

Introduction Human and animal skin is colonized by a complex microbial population. An imbalance of these microorganisms is often associated with dermatological diseases. Methods The aim of this work was to describe the skin bacterial microbiota composition of healthy dogs and dogs with inflammatory skin lesions. Genomic DNA was sequenced using primers that target the V4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene....
