Verrucomicrobia

Verrucomicrobia is a bacterial group in the canine gut microbiome that includes bacteria associated with the intestinal mucus layer, the protective layer of mucus that lines the gut. This group includes Akkermansia muciniphila, a bacterium often linked to mucus turnover and gut barrier support. Verrucomicrobia levels may reflect activity close to the gut lining and how bacteria interact with the intestinal surface. Changes in Verrucomicrobia levels may be influenced by diet, mucus turnover, the gut environment, or the overall microbiome balance.
