Abstrakt: During poultry immunization, antibiotics are typically added to inactivated oil-adjuvant avian influenza (AI) vaccines. Here, we evaluated the effects of adding ceftiofur, a third-generation cephalosporin, to an AI vaccine on vaccine stability and structure and on chick growth, immune efficacy, blood concentrations, biochemical and immunological indices, and gut microbiota. The results demonstrated that neither aqueous ceftiofur sodium nor ceftiofur hydrochloride oil emulsion formed a stable mixture with the vaccine. Adding ceftiofur formulations, particularly ceftiofur hydrochloride, at >4% significantly destabilized the vaccine's water-in-oil structures. Adding ceftiofur also increased vaccine malabsorption at the injection site; specifically, adding ceftiofur hydrochloride reduced H5N8 and H7N9 antibody titers after the first immunization (P < 0.05) and H7N9 antibody titers after the second immunization (P < 0.01). Serum drug concentrations did not differ significantly between the groups with ceftiofur sodium and hydrochloride addition. Ceftiofur addition increased postvaccination chick weight loss; compared with the vaccine alone, ceftiofur sodium-vaccine mixture increased chick weight significantly (P < 0.05). Ceftiofur addition also increased stress indices and reduced antioxidant capacity significantly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Vaccination-related immune stress reduced gut microbiota diversity in chicks; ceftiofur addition reversed this change. AI vaccine immunization significantly reduced the relative abundance of Lactobacillus and Muribaculaceae but significantly increased that of Bacteroides and Eubacterium coprostanoligenes group. Ceftiofur addition restored the gut microbiota structure; in particular, ceftiofur hydrochloride addition significantly increased the abundance of the harmful gut microbes Escherichia-Shigella and Enterococcus, whereas ceftiofur sodium addition significantly reduced it. The changes in gut microbiota led to alterations in metabolic pathways related to membrane transport, amino acids, and carbohydrates. In conclusion, adding ceftiofur to the AI vaccine had positive effects on chick growth and gut microbiota modulation; however, different antibiotic concentrations and formulations may disrupt vaccine structure, possibly affecting vaccine safety and immunization efficacy. Thus, the addition of antibiotics to oil-adjuvant vaccines is associated with a risk of immunization failure and should be applied to poultry with caution.
