Ecological Characterization of the Colonic Microbiota of Normal and Diarrheic Dogs
Figure 5
Q-PCR analysis of
bacterial groups in fecal samples from a single pet with two diarrheic
episodes. Panel (a) Clostridium group I; Panel (b) Clostridium group XIVa; Panel (c) Bacteroides spp.; Panel (d) E. coli;
Panel (e) E. faecium; Panel (f) E. faecalis. values
for the standard curves were 0.995, 0.986, 0.956, 0.958, 0.980, and 0.998,
respectively. Error bars indicate the standard deviation of triplicate samples.
Lack of a bar indicates that no product was detected in 40 cycles. The sample
for day 252 was exhausted before Q-PCR for E. faecium, E. faecalis, and E.
coli was performed. Population variability (PV) values are shown at the
upper right of each panel.
