Vet. Sci."],"abstract":"<jats:p>The gut microbiota of chickens plays an important role in host physiology. However, the colonization and prevalence of gut microbiota have not been well-characterized. Here, we performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing on the duodenal, cecal and fecal microbiota of broilers at 1, 7, 21, and 35 days of age and characterized the dynamic succession of microbiota across the intestinal tract. Our results showed that Firmicutes was the most abundant phylum detected in each gut site at various ages, while the microbial diversity and composition varied among the duodenum, cecum, and feces at different ages. The microbial diversity and complexity of the cecal microbiota increased with age, gradually achieving stability at 21 days of age. As a specific genus in the cecum, <jats:italic>Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1<\/jats:italic> accounted for 83.50% of the total abundance at 1 day of age, but its relative abundance diminished with age. Regarding the feces, the highest alpha diversity was observed at 1 day of age, significantly separated from the alpha diversity of other ages. In addition, no significant differences were observed in the alpha diversity of duodenal samples among 7, 21, and 35 days of age. The predominant bacterium, <jats:italic>Lactobacillus<\/jats:italic>, was relatively low (0.68\u20136.04%) in the intestinal tract of 1-day-old chicks, whereas its abundance increased substantially at 7 days of age and was higher in the duodenum and feces. <jats:italic>Escherichia-Shigella<\/jats:italic>, another predominant bacterium in the chicken intestinal tract, was also found to be highly abundant in fecal samples, and the age-associated dynamic trend coincided with that of <jats:italic>Lactobacillus<\/jats:italic>. In addition, several genera, including <jats:italic>Blautia, Ruminiclostridium_5, Ruminococcaceae_UCG-014<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>[Ruminococcus]_torques_group<\/jats:italic>, which are related to the production of short-chain fatty acids, were identified as biomarker bacteria of the cecum after 21 days of age. These findings shed direct light on the temporal and spatial dynamics of intestinal microbiota and provide new opportunities for the improvement of poultry health and production.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2021.712226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,6]],"date-time":"2021-09-06T16:39:30Z","timestamp":1630946370000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":78,"title":["The
