Poultry colonized with Campylobacter species are a significant source of human food-borne illness. The therapeutic use of the medium chain fatty acid caprylic acid consistently reduced enteric C. jejuni colonization in chicks by 3 to 4 logs in three separate trials. These results support caprylic acid's potential to reduce Campylobacter carriage in poultry.
被弯曲杆菌属细菌定植的家禽是人类食源性疾病的一个重要来源。在三项独立试验中,中链脂肪酸辛酸的治疗性使用持续使雏鸡肠道空肠弯曲菌的定植减少了3至4个对数。这些结果支持了辛酸在减少家禽弯曲杆菌携带方面的潜力。
