Day-old broiler chicks (Cobb) were obtained from a commercial hatchery. Eight groups of 15 chicks each were housed in floor-pens on litter. All groups were kept in separate rooms. Quinolone treatment of the chickens lasted 4 d. Treatment of group 6 started at day 1 and treatment of groups 2-5 and 7 started at day 26. Campylobacter challenge took place on day 19. All birds in groups 1-6 were individually challenged with 0.1 ml of saline solution containing 6 x 10’ cfu ml-’ Campylobacter jejuni. All birds in groups 7 and 8 were individually challenged with 0.1 ml of sterile saline solution (Campylobacter-free controls)

All groups were tested for the presence of Campylobacter on day 12, 19, 26 and 33 by individual cloacal swabbing. All chickens were slaughtered on day 43, and from each bird caecal material was aseptically sampled with a sterile swab.
