Popis: In the day-old chick, physiological stress in the form of high or low temperatures or feed and water deprivation either interfered with colonization or altered the protection provided by normal intestinal microflora against subsequent challenge with Salmonella typhimurium. The response was more obvious after individual exposure of chicks to salmonella than after exposure to infected seeders. Physiological and dietary stress at 2 weeks of age did not appreciably alter the S. typhimurium excretion pattern in treated chicks. The protective microflora appears to be quite stable under these stress conditions.
