Role of caecal microbiota in differential resistance to Campylobacter jejuni colonisation in chickens.. Role of the caecal microbiota in Campylobacter resistance

We investigated whether chicken lines which have heritable differences in Campylobacter jejuni colonisation also display differences in caecal microbiota composition. We also performed microbiota transplants between lines, followed by C. jejuni challenge.

本研究探究了在空肠弯曲杆菌（Campylobacter jejuni）定植方面存在遗传差异的鸡品系，其盲肠微生物群组成是否存在差异。此外，本研究还在不同鸡品系间开展了微生物群移植实验，随后进行空肠弯曲杆菌攻毒试验。
