Microbiome varies with oral condition in felines. (A) Microbiome ASV richness and (B) Pielou’s evenness for plaque samples from cats diagnosed with stomatitis (FCGS), tooth resorption (TR), periodontitis (SPD), or a combination of these conditions. Samples were pooled across oral sites for analysis with GLMMs (Table S9). Asterisks *** indicate statistical significance (p = 0.05), ns denotes where difference was not statistically significant. (C) PCoA ordination based on Bray–Curtis distances showing the clustering of oral microbiome samples by condition. PERMANOVA output is shown.
