Diverse bacterial communities exist on canine skin and are impacted by cohabitation and time

This related study sampled 40 dogs from 20 households over the course of three seasons. Three skin sites were examined. The goal of the study was to determine if a core skin microbiome exists in dogs across time and body site, and if cohabitation impacts sharing of the skin microbiome. This dataset is a part of the Torres_Johnson Canine Microbiome Study.本相关研究于三个季节的周期内，从20户家庭中抽取了40只犬作为研究对象，对三处皮肤位点进行了检测。本研究旨在探明犬类是否存在随时间与身体位点变化的核心皮肤微生物组（core skin microbiome），以及共同居住是否会影响皮肤微生物组的共享情况。本数据集隶属于托雷斯-约翰逊犬微生物组研究（Torres_Johnson Canine Microbiome Study）。
