Evaluating Extraction Methods to Study Canine Urine Microbiota

R. Mrofchak, C. Madden, M. V. Evans, V. L. Hale

This paper evaluates DNA extraction methods for canine urine microbiota, finding that extraction method had no significant effect on microbial community composition, but the Bacteremia kit yielded the highest bacterial DNA concentrations and extracted DNA from the most samples.
