“…For example, a recent challenge study reported that diets supplemented with Bacillus spp. significantly increased resistance to A. hydrophila infection in Nile tilapia (Kuebutornye et al., 2020). The cumulative mortality rate 7 days postchallenge with A. hydrophila was reduced from 87% for control fish to 30% for tilapia fed with a diet containing Bacillus velezensis , Bacillus subtilis , and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens .…”

“…Understanding the prevalence, ecology, concentration, and dynamics of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms present throughout the entire fish production chain will also contribute to the development and application of new intervention strategies. Various decontamination methods have been proposed, tested, and applied to ensure the microbiological safety of fish and fish products, including physical, chemical, and biological interventions (da Cunha, Heinzmann, & Baldisserotto, 2018; Kuebutornye et al., 2020; Kumar, Mukherjee, & Dutta, 2020; Ringø et al., 2018; Sternisa, Mraz, & Mozina, 2016). Advancements in these areas, for example, photodynamic inactivation of bacteria and the identification of new natural antimicrobials, warrant further investigation as techniques to ensure fish and fish product safety.…”

Microorganisms play a crucial and unique role in fish and fish product safety. The presence of human pathogens and the formation of histamine caused by spoilage bacteria make the control of both pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms critical for fish product safety. To provide a comprehensive and updated overview of the involvement of microorganisms in fish and fish product safety, this paper reviewed outbreak and recall surveillance data obtained from government agencies from 1998 to 2018 and identified major safety concerns associated with both domestic and imported fish products. The review also summarized all available literature about the prevalence of major and emerging microbial safety concerns, including Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Aeromonas hydrophila, in different fish and fish products and the survival of these pathogens under different storage conditions. The prevalence of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic‐resistant genes (ARGs), two emerging food safety concerns, is also reviewed. Pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms as well as ARB and ARGs can be introduced into fish and fish products in both preharvest and postharvest stages. Many novel intervention strategies have been proposed and tested for the control of different microorganisms on fish and fish products. One key question that needs to be considered when developing and implementing novel control measures is how to ensure that the measures are cost and environment friendly as well as sustainable. Over the years, regulations have been established to provide guidance documents for good farming and processing practices. To be more prepared for the globalization of the food chain, harmonization of regulations is still needed.

“…The usefulness of Bacillus species from aquaculture perspective has been reviewed by several researchers (Buruiana et al 2014;Kuebutornye et al 2019;Soltani et al 2019). Over the years, there are numerous scientific evidences which confirm the beneficial effects of various probiotic members of this genus in several fish and shellfish species (Hoseinifar et al 2018;Li et al 2019;Olmos et al 2019;Kuebutornye et al 2020). Among different Bacillus species, B. subtilis is one of the most extensively studied and used probiotic organisms in wide range of animals ranging from terrestrial to aquatic animals.…”

Microorganisms play an important role in water quality maintenance, waste management, productivity enhancement, nutrient cycling, functional feed development, protection against infectious diseases, delivery of antigens and several other health benefits in aquaculture. The most significant use of microbes in aquaculture to minimize the antibiotics and drugs is through probiotics. The scope of probiotics in modern aquaculture has been enormous due to the detrimental consequences of routinely used antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents and demand for safe aquatic products for human consumption. Since past few decades, both scientific and commercial interests are burgeoning in this field, and over the years, several probiotics are successfully used in aquaculture. Among various probiotics that are being used, Bacillus species are the common probiotics that are used in different aquatic animals. Several probiotics species belonging to Bacillus genus are currently been used, and Bacillus subtilis is one of such probiotics that is very well‐researched and most widely used probiotics in aquaculture. While its probiotic use has already been an important component in diverse aquaculture practices, its application in water quality improvement, utility in bioflocs/bioremediation and vehicle to express and delivery of heterologous antigen are noteworthy. It exerts innumerable beneficial effects such as improvement of growth, nutrition, immunity and disease resistance in aquatic species. This bacterium adopts a variety of disparate and overlapping mechanisms such as synergistic, antagonistic, competitive exclusion and immune‐stimulating effects. This review summarizes various applications of this bacterium as probiotics, bioremediating agent, bioflocing agent and possible live vaccine vehicle in aquaculture.

“…In aquaculture, probiotics are now also more frequently serving as preventive and management measures against a variety of microbial infections, including those that are viral. White spot syndrome virus and infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus have been responsible for extensive economic losses (Kuebutornye et al, 2020). A number of Bacillus species isolates have been used to enhance the antiviral immunity of crustaceans (Sánchez-Ortiz et al, 2016;Sekar et al, 2016;Pham et al, 2017;Kuebutornye et al, 2020).…”

Probiotics at War Against Viruses: What Is Missing From the Picture?

Our world is now facing a multitude of novel infectious diseases. Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics, albeit with increasing difficulty as many of the more common causes of infection have now developed broad spectrum antimicrobial resistance. However, there is now an even greater challenge from both old and new viruses capable of causing respiratory, enteric, and urogenital infections. Reports of viruses resistant to frontline therapeutic drugs are steadily increasing and there is an urgent need to develop novel antiviral agents. Although this all makes sense, it seems rather strange that relatively little attention has been given to the antiviral capabilities of probiotics. Over the years, beneficial strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been successfully used to treat gastrointestinal, oral, and vaginal infections, and some can also effect a reduction in serum cholesterol levels. Some probiotics prevent gastrointestinal dysbiosis and, by doing so, reduce the risk of developing secondary infections. Other probiotics exhibit anti-tumor and immunomodulating properties, and in some studies, antiviral activities have been reported for probiotic bacteria and/or their metabolites. Unfortunately, the mechanistic basis of the observed beneficial effects of probiotics in countering viral infections is sometimes unclear. Interestingly, in COVID-19 patients, a clear decrease has been observed in cell numbers of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium spp., both of which are common sources of intestinal probiotics. The present review, specifically motivated by the need to implement effective new counters to SARS-CoV-2, focusses attention on viruses capable of co-infecting humans and other animals and specifically explores the potential of probiotic bacteria and their metabolites to intervene with the process of virus infection. The goal is to help to provide a more informed background for the planning of future probiotic-based antiviral research.
