Evaluation of Healthy Canine Conjunctival, Periocular Haired Skin, and Nasal Microbiota Compared to Conjunctival Culture

Evaluation of Healthy Canine Conjunctival, Periocular Haired Skin, and Nasal Microbiota Compared to Conjunctival Culture

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods have been used to identify a diverse ocular surface (OS) microbiota in humans. These results have highlighted limitations in microbial detection via traditional culture-based techniques. The OS has mechanisms such as tear film and mechanical blinking, which m...
