Cyclophosphamide Increases <italic toggle="yes">Lactobacillus</italic> in the Intestinal Microbiota in Chickens

ABSTRACT Recent data in humans indicate that immunosuppression is correlated with shifts in the intestinal microbiota. However, the relationship between immunosuppression and intestinal microbiota has not been studied in chickens. Thus, we investigated the correlations between immune cells and intes...
