The analysis of dysbacteriosis distribution in cats according to the veterinary reporting of clinics in the Moscow region

In the distal part of the gastrointestinal tract of animals and its lumen bacteria and parietal microorganisms of the mucous membrane contribute to primary and secondary metabolism and actively interact with populations of host immune cells and influence them in their own way. Mentioned parts of the organism represent the largest, and still insufficiently studied, reservoir of microbiota. Therefore, the analysis of the specific weight of dysbacteriosis in cats, the study of the etiology and features of the course, as well as an attempt to classify this syndrome in cats, will allow us to develop more effective approaches to their correction. The aim of this article was to analyze the dysbacteriosis distribution in cats according to the veterinary reporting of three clinics in the Moscow region over the past five years (2016-2020). The influence of age, sex, and season on the manifestations of dysbacteriosis was revealed. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
