  • 摘要:Campylobacter jejuni is a leading bacterial cause of human gastroenteritis. Reducing Campylobacter numbers in the intestinal tract of chickens will minimize transmission to humans, thereby reducing the incidence of infection. We have previously shown that oral pre-treatment of chickens with C. jejuni lysate and Poly D, L-lactide-co-glycolide polymer nanoparticles (PLGA NPs) containing CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) can reduce the number of C. jejuni in infected chickens. In the current study, the effects of these pre-treatments on the composition and functional diversity of the cecal microbiota, in chickens experimentally infected with C. jejuni, were investigated using next-generation sequencing. The taxonomic composition analysis revealed a reduction in cecal microbial diversity and considerable changes in the taxonomic profiles of the microbial communities of C. jejuni-challenged chickens. On the other hand, irrespective of the dose, the microbiota of PLGA-encapsulated CpG ODN- and C. jejuni lysate-treated chickens exhibited higher microbial diversity associated with high abundance of members of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes and lower numbers of Campylobacter than untreated-chickens. These findings suggest that oral administration of encapsulated CpG ODN and C. jejuni lysate can reduce colonization by C. jejuni by enhancing the proliferation of specific microbial groups. The mechanisms that mediate these changes remain, however, to be elucidated.
