Ecological parameters comparison between healthy dogs and dogs affected withB. bronchiseptica. Box plot graphs representing the bacterial alpha diversity (A), richness (B) and evenness (C) in healthy (n = 4) compared with diseased dogs (n = 7). The medians are represented by the central horizontal bars. The lower and upper limits of the box are the first and third quartiles, respectively. *P = 0.012; **P = 0.006.
