Plain-English summary
This study looked at certain germs that can cause respiratory problems in dogs, specifically Bordetella bronchiseptica, Mycoplasma cynos, and canine adenovirus-2. These germs are often found in the upper respiratory tract of healthy dogs, meaning they can be present without causing illness. Understanding these pathogens can help veterinarians better diagnose and treat respiratory issues in dogs. The research highlights the importance of knowing which germs are common in healthy dogs to differentiate between normal and concerning symptoms.
