dc.description.abstract | Seventy-four New Zealand white rabbit pups were divided into four groups: group I, 2 days of age (n = 9); group II, 3 to 5 days of age (n = 24); group III, 6 to 8 days of age (n = 27); and group IV, 10 to 13 days of age (n = 14). Mouth swabs (MS), rectal swabs (RS), small bowel specimens (SB), and large bowel specimens (LB) were obtained from each rabbit, incubated for 24 hours in thioglycolate broth, and plated on blood agar in aerobic and anaerobic environments. After 24 hours, growth on blood agar plates were observed. All MS specimens and all but one RS specimen showed positive growth. Growth of both LB and SB specimens increased significantly with age (P P P v 100% and 93% v 100%, respectively). These data show that nearly half of normal rabbits under 6 days of age have sterile small and large intestines despite almost 100% growth from rectal and mouth swabs. These findings partially explain the absence of spontaneous bacterial translocation in young rabbit pups (under 4 days of age) and have important implications for the prophylaxis and treatment of neonatal sepsis. | en_US |
