Colonization of cecal content of birds with ST4/74. A At 3-dpi over 50% of the birds in the PBS challenged group showed detectable numbers of ST4/74 colonizing the cecal content. Of the CMT groups two birds in the 24 h group and 1 bird in the 48 h group showed detectable levels of ST4/74 in the cecal content. All other groups did not appear to be colonized by ST4/74. B At 7-dpi three of the transplant groups (24, 48 and 72) had birds which showed colonization in the cecal content however with a lower CFU ml−1 compared to PBS challenged controls. C At 14 dpi 4 birds in the PBS challenged and 48 h CMT group were colonized at similar levels with ST4/74. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001 as determined by Kruskal–Wallis non-parametric test
