Microbiol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Coccidiosis is one of the major parasitic diseases in the commercial broiler industry. Probiotics can protect poultry against <jats:italic>Eimeria<\/jats:italic> infection. However, the mechanisms are not fully known. Therefore, <jats:italic>Lactobacillus plantarum<\/jats:italic> P8 (P8) was used to investigate its anti-coccidial property and mechanism. Five hundred broilers were allocated to five treatments: control diet (NC), control diet + <jats:italic>Eimeria<\/jats:italic> infection (IC), control diet containing 1 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>7<\/jats:sup> cfu\/g P8 + <jats:italic>Eimeria<\/jats:italic> infection (P8L), control diet containing 1 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>8<\/jats:sup> cfu\/g P8 + <jats:italic>Eimeria<\/jats:italic> infection (P8H), and control diet + <jats:italic>Eimeria<\/jats:italic> infection + Diclazuril (DIC). At day 14, all treatments except NC were inoculated with sporulated oocysts. Results indicated that <jats:italic>Eimeria<\/jats:italic> infection increased the mortality and oocysts shedding, and declined the growth performance as well as the intestinal barrier in <jats:italic>Eimeria<\/jats:italic>-treated broilers. On the contrary, dietary supplementation of low level P8, high level P8 and DIC decreased the mortality and oocysts shedding, but improved the growth performance and intestinal barrier. The impaired intestinal morphology in the IC group was also improved by P8H and DIC treatments. Besides, the elevated oxidative stress and pro-inflammation in <jats:italic>Eimeria<\/jats:italic>-infected broilers were reduced by P8L, P8H, and DIC treatments. Metagenomic analysis indicated P8 altered the structure of the gut microbiota, and the alteration was more obvious at day 21 than day 42. Notably, IC also increased the abundances of Eimeriidae, <jats:italic>Eimeria<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Eimeria tenella<\/jats:italic> at day 21, while P8L and DIC decreased the abundances. Correlation analysis revealed that bacteria in <jats:italic>Eimeria<\/jats:italic>-treated broilers positively correlated with the intestinal permeability, oxidative stress and inflammation, while bacteria in broilers receiving P8L and DIC negatively correlated with the aforementioned pathological indices. Functional prediction demonstrated that the metagenomes of <jats:italic>Eimeria<\/jats:italic>-infected broilers were involved in several diseases. But the metagenomes of P8L-treated broilers were involved in energy metabolism and replication repair. In conclusion, dietary P8 supplementation inhibited oocyst shedding and improved the growth performance as well as the intestinal health of broilers infected with <jats:italic>Eimeria<\/jats:italic>, which was closely related to the regulation of gut microbiota. Moreover, the effects of P8 may be more effective in the early infection of coccidia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2021.705758","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,9]],"date-time":"2021-07-09T11:05:18Z","timestamp":1625828718000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Protective Effect of Lactobacillus plantarum P8 on Growth Performance, Intestinal Health, and Microbiota in Eimeria-Infected Broilers"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Yang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoguo","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuemin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinshan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaojing","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kaidong","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huawei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"814","DOI":"10.1093\/ps\/76.6.814","article-title":"Production of free radical species during Eimeria maxima infections in chickens.","volume":"76","author":"Allen","year":"1997","journal-title":"Poult.
