Rarefaction analysis of the V3–V4 16S rRNA sequence to determine the changes in the proportions of bacteria in the fecal samples of the dogs with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) between before and after fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and to determine the proportions of bacteria in the fecal samples of the donor dogs. The phyla are shown in order from the top of the bar graph: other, Tenericutes, Proteobacteria, Fusobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria (Fig. 3A–C). The major bacterial phyla in the dogs with IBD were Firmicutes (51.7%), as shown in Fig. 3A, and Proteobacteria (80.3%, 52.2%), as shown in Fig. 3B and C. The proportions of Actinobacteria, Tenericutes, and Proteobacteria in the microbiome of donor dogs were low, and the major bacterial phyla were Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Fusobacteria. Generally, the proportion of Fusobacteria decreased in the microbiome of dogs with IBD.
