Assessment of bacterial and fungal populations in urine from clinically healthy dogs using next‐generation sequencing

Abstract Background Urine from clinically healthy dogs is not sterile. Characterizing microbial diversity and abundance within this population of dogs is important to define normal reference ranges for healthy urine. Objectives To establish composition and relative representation of bacterial and fu...
