Description

Mamjoud and four co-authors report a lab study from twenty twenty-six on germ-fighting proteins as swaps for antibiotics in chickens. The proteins, made by some germs, kill rival germs while sparing much of the gut mix. The team tested three such proteins in a lab model that mimics the chicken gut. They set them against a standard antibiotic as a control. They tracked gut germs, gut acids, and chemical signs over time.

The standard drug and one protein changed the gut mix a lot and cut key germ groups. The other two proteins left the gut mix near normal. One of them stayed active longest and kept gut acids steady. The authors back it for tests in live birds next.
