Understanding the gut microbiota of domestic cats (\n                    <jats:italic>Felis catus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) is critical for advancing feline health and examining environmental influences on microbial composition. This study utilized 16S and 18S rRNA sequencing to investigate bacterial and eukaryotic communities in the feces of 30 cats from two Colombian regions: urban Bogot\u00e1 and rural Boyac\u00e1. Key bacterial taxa included\n                    <jats:italic>Collinsella<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Bifidobacterium<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>Alloprevotella<\/jats:italic>\n                    in Bogot\u00e1, while\n                    <jats:italic>Romboutsia<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Clostridium<\/jats:italic>\n                    sensu stricto 1, and\n                    <jats:italic>Turicibacter<\/jats:italic>\n                    predominated in Boyac\u00e1. Similarly, fungal genera such as\n                    <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Malassezia<\/jats:italic>\n                    were prevalent across all samples, with geographic variations observed for\n                    <jats:italic>Blastocystis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , which was more abundant in Bogot\u00e1, and\n                    <jats:italic>Pseudomonocystis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , which dominated Boyac\u00e1. Despite no significant clustering in alpha\u2011 and beta\u2011diversity analyses, subtle shifts in the relative abundance of specific taxa were observed and are hypothesized to be influenced by differences in lifestyle and diet, with urban cats tending to remain indoors and consume commercial feeds, while rural cats often scavenge or consume human food. This work also highlights the value of 18S rRNA analysis in characterizing microeukaryotic communities, providing foundational insights into the interactions between feline microbiota and their environments. This study delineates the gut microbiota composition of healthy cats, providing a valuable reference for future feline health research.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11259-025-10831-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,15]],"date-time":"2025-09-15T08:43:35Z","timestamp":1757925815000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Exploring bacterial and eukaryotic communities in the gut microbiota of urban and rural cats (Felis catus) in Colombia"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Luisa","family":"P\u00e1ez-Triana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicol\u00e1s","family":"Luna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angie L.","family":"Ramirez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anny","family":"Camargo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ariana","family":"Reina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Cardona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valeria","family":"Velandia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Fernanda","family":"Z\u00fa\u00f1iga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luz H.","family":"Pati\u00f1o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan David","family":"Ramirez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marina","family":"Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"10831_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"56","DOI":"10.15282\/cst.v1i1.6443","volume":"1","author":"HF Ahmad","year":"2021","unstructured":"Ahmad HF, Dean Tay D, Wei Siew S, Razali MN (2021) Metadata analysis for gut microbiota between indoor and street cats of Malaysia.
