Microbial Diversity in APEC-Infected vs. Probiotic-Treated Chicken Gut

This study investigates the microbial diversity in the gut of chickens affected by Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) compared to those treated with newly isolated probiotic bacteria Lactocaseibacillus casei NK1. By analyzing the differences in gut microbiota between these two groups, the research aims to understand how probiotics can influence the gut environment and potentially combat APEC infections.
