Journal Article
The underlying microbial mechanism of epizootic rabbit enteropathy triggered by a low fiber diet
2018
Overview
Epizootic rabbit enteropathy (ERE) is reproduced successfully in the present study by feeding rabbits a low-fibre diet, and high-throughput sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) analysis were applied to examine the microbial variations in the stomach, small intestine and caecum. The evenness was disturbed and the richness was decreased in the ERE groups. When the rabbits were suffering from ERE, the abundance of the Firmicutes was decreased in three parts of the digestive tract, whereas the Proteobacteria was increased in the stomach and caecum, the Bacteroidetes and Verrucomicrobia were increased in the small intestine. Correlation analysis showed that the reduced concentrations of TVFA and butyrate in the caeca of the ERE group were attributed to the decreased abundances of genera such as
Lactobacillus
,
Alistipes
and other fibrolytic bacteria and butyrate- producing bacteria such as
Eubacterium
and
Faecalibacterium
. It is concluded that, in terms of microorganisms, the overgrowth of
Bacteroides fragilis
,
Clostridium perfringen
,
Enterobacter sakazakii
and
Akkermansia muciniphila
and inhibition of
Bifidobacterium
spp. and
Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens
in the stomach, small intestine and caecum resulted in a decrease in butyrate yield, leading to the incidence of ERE, and the probability of developing ERE could be manipulated by adjusting the dietary fibre level.
