The aim of this study was to analyze the coaggregative abilities of lactic acid bacteria and C. jejuni as a means to reduce the colonization of C. jejuni in poultry. In this study, various lactic acid bacteria were screened to analyze their coaggregative abilities with C. jejuni. The coaggregative abilities of LAB strains within the same species were compared. L. crispatus’ ability to coaggregate with C. jejuni mutant strains was tested. The generation of non-coaggregating L.crispatus variants was performed. DNA sequencing was performed on the wildtype strains of L.crispatus (MJM 207 and 207) along with three non-coaggregating variants. All of these measures were used to help pinpoint a genetic determinant for the coaggregative ability of the LAB strains tested.
