“…A study by Ruparell et al showed that daily oral care chews influence the composition of the plaque microbiota in dogs [15]. Barbosa et al also reported that some dog foods reduce dental plaque build-up and gingival inflammation and that chews help reduce the accumulation of dental substrates (plaques and tartars) through mechanical abrasion [16].…”

Background: The bacterium Capnocytophaga spp. is a part of the oral microbiome of dogs, which has zoonotic potential. This study aimed to assess factors that influence the prevalence of Capnocytophaga cynodegmi and Capnocytophaga canimorsus in Wrocaw’s dog population. Methods: Molecular detection (PCR) involved 105 swabs, examining parameters such as oral cavity condition, underlying health issues, recent antibiotics, age, medications, material collection, and dog chews. Results: The study highlighted significant associations between the presence of Capnocytophaga cynodegmi and oral cavity condition, material collection method, and use of dog’s chews. Conclusions: Correlations obtained in this study between the oral health of Wroclaw's dog population and the presence of Capnocytophaga cynodegmi suggest its significance in the oral microbiome of dogs. Limitations, including the small sample size, highlight the need for more research to comprehensively understand additional factors that affect the prevalence of Capnocytophaga spp. in dogs

Cancer is a substantial global health problem both in humans and animals with a consistent increase in mortality and incidence rate. The commensal microbiota has been involved in the regulation of several physiological and pathological processes, both within the gastrointestinal system and at distant tissue locations. Cancer is not an exception, and different aspects of the microbiome have been described to have anti‐ or pro‐tumour effects. Using new techniques, for example high‐throughput DNA sequencing, microbial populations of the human body have been largely described and, in the last years, studies more focused on companions' animals have emerged. In general, the recent investigations of faecal microbial phylogeny and functional capacity of the canine and feline gut have shown similarities with human gut. In this translational study we will review and summarize the relation between the microbiota and cancer, in humans and companion animals, and compare their resemblance in the type of neoplasms already studied in veterinary medicine: multicentric and intestinal lymphoma, colorectal tumours, nasal neoplasia and mast cell tumours. In the context of One Health, microbiota and microbiome integrative studies may contribute to the understanding of the tumourigenesis process, besides offering an opportunity to develop new diagnostics and therapeutic biomarkers both for veterinary and human oncology.

“…Specifically, the development of periodontal diseases is primarily caused by bacterial plaque accumulation on the periodontium through biofilm development (Dewhirst et al 2012 , Davis et al 2013 , Graves et al 2019 , Ruparell et al 2020a , 2021 , Oba et al 2021a ). As the biofilm thickens through bacterial adhesion, the dental plaque extends into the subgingival sulcus with subsequent oxygen depletion promoting anaerobic bacterial proliferation (Oba et al 2021a ).…”

“…Because of its role in periodontal diseases, the assessment of the microbial community of saliva and dental plaque in dogs is of fundamental importance. In this context, the growing concern for the health of this companion animal has prompted the scientific community to characterize the canine oral microbiota (Ruparell et al 2020a , Oba et al 2021a ). However, despite the latter has been largely studied through amplicon-based next-generation sequencing techniques and culture-dependent approaches (Davis et al 2013 , Wallis et al 2015 , Flancman et al 2018 , Ozavci et al 2019 , Ruparell et al 2020a , Oba et al 2021a , Wallis et al 2021a ), an accurate and precise dissection of the canine oral microbiota composition down to the species level as well as the identification of taxonomic and functional microbial biomarkers related to periodontal pathologies are still far from being fully dissected.…”

Periodontal diseases are among the most common bacterial-related pathologies affecting the oral cavity of dogs. Nevertheless, the canine oral ecosystem and its correlations with oral disease development are still far from being fully characterized. In this study, the species-level taxonomic composition of saliva and dental plaque microbiota of 30 healthy dogs was investigated through a shallow shotgun metagenomics approach. The obtained data allowed not only to define the most abundant and prevalent bacterial species of the oral microbiota in healthy dogs, including members of the genera Corynebacterium and Porphyromonas, but also to identify the presence of distinct compositional motifs in the two oral micro-niches as well as taxonomical differences between dental plaques collected from anterior and posterior teeth. Subsequently, the salivary and dental plaque microbiota of 18 dogs affected by chronic gingival inflammation and 18 dogs with periodontitis were compared to those obtained from the healthy dogs. This analysis allowed the identification of bacterial and metabolic biomarkers correlated with a specific clinical status, including members of the genera Porphyromonas and Fusobacterium as microbial biomarkers of a healthy and diseased oral status, respectively, and genes predicted to encode for metabolites with anti-inflammatory properties as metabolic biomarkers of a healthy status.
