ABSTRACT
An experimental group of one-day-old chicken from a commercial hatchery was given a defined mixture of 7 gut anaerobes. The next day the chicks were inoculated by an APEC strain O78H4-ST117 resistant to ciprofloxacin, alongside with the control group and monitored for 4 wk after the inoculation for the presence of the colonizing strains and ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli. Significant reduction of colonization rates in the first 2 wk was recorded in the experimental group for the numbers of ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli. The results show that colonization of chicken by defined anaerobic mixtures may provide a decisive protection during the critical period of the chicken intestinal microflora development.
