Microbiota from Specific Pathogen-Free Mice Reduces <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> Chicken Colonization

<i>Campylobacter jejuni</i>, a prevalent foodborne bacterial pathogen, is mainly transmitted from poultry with few effective prevention approaches. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of microbiota on <i>C. jejuni</i> chicken colonization. Microbiota from specific...
