Antibiotic - induced disruption of the intestinal microbiota prior to infection increases subsequent intestinal water loss
In the absence of disruption to the intestinal microbiota , kittens are resistant to clinical signs of aEPEC carriage but demonstrate significant occult changes in intestinal absorption and permeability .
Antibiotic - induced disruption of the intestinal microbiota prior to infection increases subsequent intestinal water loss as determined by % fecal wet weight .
