“…While commercial probiotic preparations for human use are generally well defined, probiotics for animals are often based on undefined bacterial mixtures obtained from intestinal contents. Undefined bacterial mixtures from chicken caecal contents have shown efficacy against Salmonella (Behling and Wong, 1994), but the results on reducing Campylobacter jejuni colonization are inconsistent (Shanker et al., 1988, 1990). Further, the use of undefined bacterial mixtures has raised concerns on pathogen transmission in the production facilities and to the food chain.…”

Campylobacter is the most common cause of bacterial food-borne diarrhoeal disease throughout the world. The principal risk of human contamination is handling and consumption of contaminated poultry meat. To colonize poultry, Campylobacter adheres to and persists in the mucus layer that covers the intestinal epithelium. Inhibiting adhesion to the mucus could prevent colonization of the intestine. The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro the protective effect of defined commercial human probiotic strains on the adhesion of Campylobacter spp. to chicken intestinal mucus, in a search for alternatives to antibiotics to control this food-borne pathogen. The probiotic strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Propionibacterium freudenreichii ssp. shermanii JS and a starter culture strain Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis adhered well to chicken intestinal mucus and were able to reduce the binding of Campylobacter spp. when the mucus was colonized with the probiotic strain before contacting the pathogen. Human-intended probiotics could be useful as prophylactics in poultry feeding for controlling Campylobacter spp. colonization.

“…The use of undefined preparations could result in the transmission of any pathogen; thus, attempts have been made to develop defined bacterial mixtures for commercial utilization (18). The experimental results about the use of defined cultures are contradictory; some authors have found them to improve broiler live weight gain and feed conversion rate and markedly reduce mortality (14,15,20) as well as protect the birds against Salmonella (3,6,11,21) and coliform colonization (14,15,26). However a number of studies have shown that probiotics have no positive effects on broilers, neither improving body weight (16,41,42) nor reducing Salmonella carriage (1,36,37).…”

A rifampin-resistant Lactobacillus salivarius strain, CTC2197, was assessed as a probiotic in poultry, by studying its ability to prevent Salmonella enteritidis C-114 colonization in chickens. When the probiotic strain was dosed by oral gavage together with S. enteritidis C-114 directly into the proventriculus in 1-day-old Leghorn chickens, the pathogen was completely removed from the birds after 21 days. The same results were obtained when the probiotic strain was also administered through the feed and the drinking water apart from direct inoculation into the proventriculus. The inclusion of L. salivarius CTC2197 in the first day chicken feed revealed that a concentration of 105 CFU g−1 was enough to ensure the colonization of the gastrointestinal tract of the birds after 1 week. However, between 21 and 28 days, L. salivarius CTC2197 was undetectable in the gastrointestinal tract of some birds, showing that more than one dose would be necessary to ensure its presence till the end of the rearing time. Freeze-drying and freezing with glycerol or skim milk as cryoprotective agents, appeared to be suitable methods to preserve the probiotic strain. The inclusion of the L. salivarius CTC2197 in a commercial feed mixture seemed to be a good way to supply it on the farm, although the strain showed sensitivity to the temperatures used during the feed mixture storage and in the chicken incubator rooms. Moreover, survival had been improved after several reinoculations in chicken feed mixture.
