Characterization of the Fungal Microbiome (Mycobiome) in Fecal Samples from Dogs

Table 3

Fungal species identified in feces from dogs using pyrosequencing. The accession number and similarity to their closest relative in the NCBI database and the number of healthy and diseased dogs harboring the species are summarized.
