Bacteria Associated with the Intestinal Wall of the Fowl (Gallus domesticus)

“…This phenomenon had been observed earlier by Eyssen, Swaelen, Kowszyk-Gindifer & Parmentier (1965). The main sites of adhesion were the crop, ileum and caecum.…”

“…The pattern of attachment was characteristic for each site.DURING THE COURSE of studies on the intestinal flora of the chick it was noticed that sloughed off epithelial cells in crop contents were often associated with large numbers of rod-shaped bacteria. This phenomenon had been observed earlier by Eyssen, Swaelen, Kowszyk-Gindifer & Parmentier (1965). Speculation on the origin of these epithelial cell-associated bacteria led to a more general study of the possible existence of a flora associated with the intestinal wall similar to that described for the mouse by Dubos, Schaedler, Costello & Hoet (1965).…”

Ecological Studies on the Lactobacillus Flora Associated with the Crop Epithelium of the Fowl

“…However, the possibility that in the wild state the host contributed to the nutrition of the bacteria cannot be discounted. Eyssen, Swaelen, Kowszyk-Gindifer & Parmenteer (1965) studied what was probably a similar lactobacillus population although they considered it to be growing on desquamated crop epithelial cells of the chicken. These organisms had a requirement for certain nucleotides which in the wild state may bc satisfied by the chicken epithelium.…”
