Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) phylum, (B) family, and (C) genus levels based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Bars represent the average relative abundance for each group. At the phylum level, both groups were dominated by Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. At the family and genus levels, healthy dogs showed greater abundance of Lachnospiraceae, Peptostreptococcaceae, Erysipelotrichaceae, Blautia , and Peptoclostridium , while disabled dogs exhibited higher levels of Prevotellaceae, Streptococcaceae, Prevotella , Lactobacillus , and Streptococcus.
