Quantitative PCR evaluation of the faecal microbiota in adult versus geriatric cats.

<p>Values are expressed as means ± standard deviation of the log amount of DNA (fg) per 10 ng of isolated total DNA. Differences in mean values between cats aged ten years or younger (“adult”) and cats greater than ten years (“geriatric”) were determined by 2-sided t-tests. P values <0.05 were considered significant.</p><p>Quantitative PCR evaluation of the faecal microbiota in adult versus geriatric cats.
