摘要： Simple Summary Newcastle disease (ND), which is caused by virulent Newcastle disease virus (NDV), is one of the most important viral diseases for chickens and birds. However, the intestinal pathogenesis of NDV is still poorly understood. To preliminarily investigate its intestinal pathogenesis mechanisms from the aspect of gut microbiota, the 16S rRNA gene sequencing technology was used to evaluate the gut microbiota composition changes post different virulent NDV infection. Results showed that different virulent NDV infection resulted in a different alteration of the gut microbiota in chickens, including a loss of probiotic bacteria and an expansion of some pathogenic bacteria. The above results suggest that NDV strains with different virulence have different impacts on chicken gut microbiota. Newcastle disease virus (NDV) which is pathogenic to chickens is characterized by dyspnea, diarrhea, nervous disorder and hemorrhages. However, the influence of different virulent NDV strain infection on the host gut microbiota composition is still poorly understood. In this study, twenty 21-day-old specific pathogen free (SFP) chickens were inoculated with either the velogenic Herts33 NDV strain, lentogenic La Sota NDV strain or sterile phosphate buffer solution (PBS). Subsequently, the fecal samples of each group were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing. The results showed that the gut microbiota were mainly dominated by Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria in both healthy and NDV infected chickens. NDV infection altered the structure and composition of gut microbiota. As compared to the PBS group, phylum Firmicutes were remarkably reduced, whereas Proteobacteria was significantly increased in the velogenic NDV infected group; the gut community structure had no significant differences between the lentogenic NDV infected group and the PBS group at phylum level. At genus level, Escherichia-Shigella was significantly increased in both the velogenic and lentogenic NDV infected groups, but the lactobacillus was only remarkably decreased in the velogenic NDV infected group. Collectively, different virulent strain NDV infection resulted in a different alteration of the gut microbiota in chickens, including a loss of probiotic bacteria and an expansion of some pathogenic bacteria. These results indicated that NDV strains with different virulence have different impacts on chicken gut microbiota and may provide new insights into the intestinal pathogenesis of NDV.
