The expression of inflammatory cytokines (interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-10) was increased in the cecum tissue and serum of the PDCoV HNZK-02–infected chicks when detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Further analysis showed significant correlation between bacterial genera and SCFAs or inflammatory cytokines expression in cecum of the PDCoV infected chicks. Three hundred and seventeen OTUs of the total gut microbial richness (375) were shared between the samples of mock and PDCoV HNZK-02 groups at 17 dpi (Figure 1 ). ./cache/cord-286779-si3qml42.txt ./txt/cord-286779-si3qml42.txt
