Sixteen of twenty horses had positive blood cultures at one or more time points with no significant difference in the proportion of positive blood cultures among time points but differential abundance analysis identified eight bacterial families with increased and three with decreased relative abundance at one or more post\u2010procedural time points compared to baseline. Several of these families have been associated with the equine oral or gastrointestinal microbiota, whereas others are commonly reported in plant soil and reagent\u2010associated communities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Small sample size, lack of age\u2010matched controls, absence of technical negative controls, and low\u2010biomass nature of blood samples limit interpretation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Culturable bacteria and bacterial DNA were detected from blood samples of clinically healthy horses before and after routine dental prophylaxis, though overall culture positivity and community diversity remained stable.
