Fusobacteria

Fusobacteria is a bacterial group commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract of carnivorous animals, including dogs. Some Fusobacteria can be part of a normal canine gut microbiome and may be involved in protein fermentation, a process where gut bacteria break down protein related material. Higher levels may reflect changes in diet, stool composition, protein breakdown, or the overall microbial balance in the gut. Because Fusobacteria can be common in dogs, their meaning depends on the wider microbiome pattern and whether other gut markers also suggest imbalance.
