Enrofloxacin shifts intestinal microbiota and metabolic profiling and hinders recovery fromSalmonella entericasubsp.entericaserovarTyphimuriuminfection in neonatal chickens

Abstract

Enrofloxacin is an important antibiotic used for prevention and treatment of Salmonella infection in poultry in many countries. However, oral administration of enrofloxacin may lead to the alterations in the microbiota and metabolome in the chicks intestine, thereby reducing colonization resistance to the Salmonella infection. To study the effects of enrofloxacin on chicken cecal Salmonella, we used different concentrations of enrofloxacin to feed 1-day-old chickens, followed by oral challenge with Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium). We then explored the distribution patterns of S. Typhimurium in vivo in intestinal contents using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and microbial 16S amplicon sequencing on days 7, 14, and 21. Metabolome sequencing was used to explore the gut metabolome on day 14. Faecalibacterium and Anaerostipes, which are closely related to the chicken intestinal metabolome, were screened using a multi-omics technique. The abundance of S. Typhimurium was significantly higher in the enrofloxacin-treated group than in the untreated group, and S. Typhimurium persisted longer. Moreover, the cecal colony structures of the three groups exhibited different characteristics, with Lactobacillus reaching its highest abundance on day 21. Notably, S. Typhimurium infection is known to affect the fecal metabolome of chickens differently. Thus, our results suggested that enrofloxacin and Salmonella infections completely altered the intestinal metabolism of chickens.

Discovery and Bioactivity of the Novel Lasso Peptide Microcin Y

“…With the widespread use of antibiotics, diseases caused by MDR strains have become increasingly difficult to handle, especially those caused by Enterobacteriaceae, including Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Shigella, and Pseudomonas. 1,2 Hence, new antibacterial drugs are urgently needed for clinical treatment and food preservation.…”

Long‐term exposure to enrofloxacin increases body weight and alters the metabolism of American shad ( Alosa sapidissima ) in indoor aquaculture

“…Maternal exposure to environmental antibiotics during the gravid period predicted gastrointestinal effects in zebrafish offspring (Qiu, Liu, et al, 2020). Ma et al (2020) found that ENR exposure shifted the intestinal microbiota and metabolic profiling and hindered recovery from Salmonella enterica subsp. Romick‐Rosendale et al (2009) found that eight metabolites changed through NMR‐based metabonomic analysis of mouse urine and faecal extracts following oral treatment with the broad‐spectrum antibiotic ENR.…”
