Figure 6. Characterization of bacterial species associated with public health concerns. (A) A heatmap displaying the distribution and detection abundance of specific bacterial species linked to public health concerns in the upper respiratory tract of cats from various Chinese regions; (B) A heatmap illustrating the distribution and detection abundance of specific bacterial species associated with public health concerns in the upper respiratory tract of cats across different living conditions; (C) Comparisons of the total abundances of the bacteriome of these bacterial species in the upper respiratory tract of cats from different Chinese regions (P < 0.05); (D) Comparisons of the abundances of bacteriome of different bacterial species in the upper respiratory tract of cats across various Chinese regions; (E) Comparisons of the total abundances of the bacteriome of these bacterial species in the upper respiratory tract of cats in different living conditions; (F) Comparisons of the abundances of the bacteriome of different bacterial species in the upper respiratory tract of cats across diverse living conditions. Mann-Whitney U test was performed to compare the abundances between two groups, using pairwise multiple comparison adjustments according to the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure. The significance level was set at a P value of < 0.05 (*) and P > 0.05 is not marked. Different Chinese regions: NEC - Northeast China, NC - Northern China, EC - Eastern China, CC - Central China, SC - Southern China, NWC - Northwest China, SWC - Southwest China. Different living conditions: M - catteries, D - animal hospitals, L - stray bases. Bacterial species: EF - Enterococcus faecium, ES - Enterobacter spp., PM - Pasteurella multocida, SuS - Streptococcus spp., StS - Staphylococcus spp., NS - Neisseria spp., MS - Moraxella spp., BB - Bordetella bronchiseptica, CD - Clostridioides difficile, SaS - Salmonella spp., LM - Listeria monocytogenes, ShS - Shigella spp., CS - Campylobacter spp., HI - Haemophilus influenzae.
