Actinobacteria

Actinobacteria is a major group of bacteria in the canine gut microbiome. This group includes bacteria involved in digestion, nutrient processing, and support of a stable gut environment. Some Actinobacteria, such as Bifidobacterium species, are often linked to beneficial gut functions. Lower levels may suggest reduced presence of these supportive bacteria, while higher levels may reflect a shift in the overall microbiome composition. Because Actinobacteria include different bacterial species, their meaning depends on which bacteria are present and how they fit into the wider microbiome pattern.
