IBD, inflammatory bowel disease cats; LSA, small cell gastrointestinal lymphoma cats. (total = 28 cats; IBD = 14 cats; small cell GI LSA = 14 cats).
Mean Bacteroides spp. bacterial count in ileal biopsies of small cell GI LSA cats significantly higher than in ileal biopsies of cats with IBD (P = .036).
Mean Fusobacterium spp. bacterial count in ileal biopsies of small cell GI LSA cats significantly higher than in ileal biopsies of cats with IBD (P = .046).
Mean Fusobacterium spp. count in colonic biopsies of small cell GI LSA cats significantly higher than in colonic biopsies of cats with IBD (P = .016).
