Abstract / Description of output
Background: Although, peripheral caries (PC) affects almost half of UK horses, no comprehensive microbiological study has been performed on this disorder. Because a high proportion of oral bacteria cannot
be conventionally cultured, a molecular microbiological technique such as Next Generation Sequencing are required to examine the complex oral bacteria community.
Objectives: To identify the microbiota involved in equine PC, including comparing microbiota at the more commonly and severely affected three caudal cheek teeth with the less commonly affected three rostral cheek
teeth
