16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of human and dog gut microbiota

We deployed 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing in this study to evaluate the sharing microbes between humans and dogs. The samples All human and dog fecal samples were collected. Fecal samples were collected from the dogs at the facility where they were kept 2 to 3 months prior to adoption and from the owners 1 week prior to adoption, as well as from both the owners and the dogs at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after adoption.
