Colonization of chickens vaccinated with L. lactis strains (L. lactis/pUWM1392, L. lactis/pUWM1395 and L. lactis/pUWM1412) and then given a C. jejuni challenge. Chickens were given three doses of the vaccine strains at 1, 8, and 17 days after hatch and challenged with C. jejuni 12/2/pUOA13 5 days later. Control birds were given BSG. Viable C. jejuni cells were recovered from the ceca of chickens at specified days after challenge. Bacterial recoveries represent colonization levels of 5 birds per time interval. The geometric mean for each group is denoted by bars. No significant differences (p < 0.05) between groups were seen.
