Chicken Caecal Microbiome Modifications Induced by Campylobacter jejuni Colonization and by a Non-Antibiotic Feed Additive
Thibodeau, Alexandre; Fravalo, Philippe; Yergeau, Étienne; Arsenault, Julie; Lahaye, Ludovic; Letellier, Ann (2015-07)Campylobacter jejuni is an important zoonotic foodborne pathogen causing acute gastroenteritis in humans. Chickens are often colonized at very high numbers by C. jejuni, up to 109 CFU per gram of caecal content, with no detrimental effects on their ... -
Extensive characterization of Campylobacter jejuni chicken isolates to uncover genes involved in the ability to compete for gut colonization
Thibodeau, Alexandre; Fravalo, Philippe; Taboada, Eduardo N.; Laurent-Lewandowski, Sylvette; Guévremont, Èvelyne; Quessy, Sylvain; Letellier, Ann (2015-05)Background: Campylobacter jejuni is responsible for human foodborne enteritis. This bacterium is a remarkable colonizer of the chicken gut, with some strains outcompeting others for colonization. To better understand this phenomenon, the objective ... -
Survival in water of Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from the slaughterhouse
Trigui, Hana; Thibodeau, Alexandre; Fravalo, Philippe; Letellier, Ann; Faucher, Sebastien P. (2015-01)Campylobacter jejuni cause gastroenteritis in humans. The main transmission vector is the consumption or handling of contaminated chicken meat, since chicken can be colonized asymptomatically by C. jejuni. However, water has been implicated as the ...
