Abstract
In vitro adherence of Lactobacillus strains to cell and tissue types along the chicken alimentary tract and to ileal mucus were determined. Fresh isolates from chickens adhered to the epithelium of crop and, in a strain-dependent manner, to follicle-associated epithelium and the apical surfaces of mature enterocytes of intestinal villi. No adherence to the apical surfaces of undifferentiated enterocytes, the mucus-producing goblet cells, or the ileal mucus was detected.Entities:
