The bamboo vinegar could exert impact on animal
fecal microbial communities like antibiotics do, but may
not increase antibacterial resistance as antibiotics do. The
richness (band numbers) and total bacteria were decreased
(Pb0.05) in ileal luminal contents of pig treated with tylosin
and an antibiotic rotation (chlorotetracycline sulfathiazole
penicillin; bacitracin and roxarsone; lincomycin; carbadox;
virginiamycin, with each for a week) for 5 weeks (Collier et
al., 2003).
