Alpha-diversity of cecal microbiota of Campylobacter-free and Campylobacter-inoculated female turkeys. Histograms depict the A number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) x 1000, B Chao-1-estimated number of species, and C Shannon diversity index of cecal samples from female turkeys, which were mock- (control) or co-inoculated with C. coli and C. jejuni, in three repeat experiments, n = 18. Data was summarized for seven, 14, and 28 days post-inoculation. Vertical error bars depict the standard deviation. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between inoculation groups for each parameter and experiment (p ≤ 0.05). Wilcoxon’s two-sample test, post hoc Bonferroni-Holm correction (α = 0.05)
