  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>Campylobacteriosis is still the most commonly reported zoonosis in the European Union causing gastrointestinal disease in humans. One of the most common sources for these food-borne infections is broiler meat.

The aim of the present study was to gain further knowledge about exclusive interactions of the host microbiota with <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="species"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.10649" xlink:type="simple">C. jejuni</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic> in <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="genus"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.3786" xlink:type="simple">Campylobacter</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic>-specific phage-free chickens under standardized conditions and special biosafety precautions.</jats:p> <jats:p>Therefore, 12 artificially infected (<jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="species"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.10649" xlink:type="simple">C. jejuni</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic> inoculum with a challenge dose of 7.64 log<jats:sub>10</jats:sub> c.f.u.) and 12 control chickens of the breed Ross 308 were kept under special biosafety measures in an animal facility. At day 42 of life, microbiota studies were performed on samples of caecal digesta and mucus. No <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="genus"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.3786" xlink:type="simple">Campylobacter</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic>-specific phages were detected by real-time PCR analysis of caecal digesta of control or artificially infected chickens. Amplification of the 16S rRNA gene was performed within the hypervariable region V4 and subsequently sequenced with Illumina MiSeq platform. R (version 4.0.2) was used to compare the microbiota between <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="species"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.10649" xlink:type="simple">C. jejuni</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic>-negative and <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="species"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.10649" xlink:type="simple">C. jejuni</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic>-positive chickens. The factor chickens’ infection status contributed significantly to the differences in microbial composition of mucosal samples, explaining 10.6 % of the microbiota variation (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic>=0.007) and in digesta samples, explaining 9.69 % of the microbiota variation (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic>=0.015).
