Description
Jing Wang and co-authors present a 2026 study of gut germ imbalance in cats with diarrhea. Diarrhea is a common gut complaint in vet clinics. Germs of one broad class, the Gram-negative group, are widely blamed, yet proof from live animal work was thin.
The team moved fecal germs from cats with diarrhea into mice whose own germs had been cleared. Those mice lost weight, and their colons showed clusters of white cells and barrier harm. Germ reads showed one group, Escherichia-Shigella, far richer in sick cats than in healthy ones. Sick cats also carried a higher load of the broad germ class. The authors link that overgrowth to the diarrhea, while noting the proof rests on the mouse transfer.
