Abstract
Gnotobiotic BALB/c mice associated with indigenous Lactobacillus, Bacteroides, and two fusiform-shaped Clostridium strains had fewer S. typhimurium present in the ileum 3 days after intragastric challenge with the pathogen than did similarly challenged germfree mice. Acetic and butyric acids were detected in the caecal contents of the gnotobiotic mice, but in smaller concentration than was present in conventionalized mice. No difference in the motility of the small intestine was detected between germfree, gnotobiotic, and conventionalized mice.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
