Metagenomic Evidence for Horizontal Gene Transfer and Functional Convergence in the Oral Microbiome of Cohabiting Dogs and Owners

2026-04-07

Abstract excerpt

The intimate cohabitation between humans and their pets facilitates bidirectional microbial exchange, yet the extent and functional consequences of this transfer within the oral niche remain underexplored. Here, we employed metagenomic sequencing to characterize the oral microbiome of dogs and their owners across distinct geographic regions in China, integrating taxonomic, gene-centric, and functional analyses usi...
