| free-living protozoa in the gastrointestinal tract and feces of pigs: exploration of an unknown world and towards a protocol for the recovery of free-living protozoa. | associations with free-living protozoa (flp) have been implicated in the persistence of foodborne pathogenic bacteria in food-related environments. to date however no information is available on the presence of flp in the gastrointestinal tract (git) of pigs, which represents an important reservoir for zoonotic foodborne bacteria and hence a potential location for associations with flp. this is at least partly due to the lack of adequate protocols to recover flp from intestinal content and feces ... | 2016 | 27369581 |
