Gut microbes play a crucial role in the regulation of host health, but the true complexity of the gastrointestinal microbiota has been underestimated using traditional culture techniques. Recent molecular-phylogenetic and metagenomic studies have revealed a highly diverse microbial community in the canine and feline gastrointestinal tract of healthy animals, consisting of bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. Alterations in microbial communities have also been reported in dogs and cats with chronic enteropathies, notably increases in Proteobacteria and depletions of Firmicutes. This review summarizes the current information about the intestinal microbial ecosystem in dogs and cats.
肠道微生物在宿主健康调节中起着关键作用,但使用传统培养技术时,胃肠道微生物群的真正复杂性被低估了。最近的分子系统发育和宏基因组学研究揭示,健康动物的犬猫胃肠道中存在高度多样化的微生物群落,包括细菌、古菌、真菌、原生动物和病毒。据报道,患有慢性肠病的犬猫微生物群落也发生了变化,特别是变形菌增加,厚壁菌减少。这篇综述总结了目前关于犬猫肠道微生物生态系统的信息。
