“…Poor management of sanitary conditions in aquaculture leads to pathogenic bacterial proliferation [ 88 , 89 ]. Thus, the need to use various antibiotics for their control arises [ 90 ]. The use of antibiotics in aquaculture is highly influenced by the legislation implemented in each country.…”

One of the main challenges in aquaculture is pathogenic bacterial control. Streptococcus iniae stands out for its ability to cause high mortality rates in populations of commercially important fish populations and its recent recognition as an emerging zoonotic pathogen. The rise in identifying over 80 strains some displaying antibiotic resistance coupled with the emerging occurrence of infections in marine mammal species and wild fish underscores the urgent need of understanding pathogenesis, virulence and drug resistance mechanisms of this bacterium. This understanding is crucial to ensure effective control strategies. In this context, the present review conducts a bibliometric analysis to examine research trends related to S. iniae , extending into the mechanisms of infection, virulence, drug resistance and control strategies, whose relevance is highlighted on vaccines and probiotics to strengthen the host immune system. Despite the advances in this field, the need for developing more efficient identification methods is evident, since they constitute the basis for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

“…PCR is a technique for the rapid production of amplification of many copies of specific DNA. It is important to confirm the diagnosis, find appropriate treatments, and know the pathogenesis of the disease and zoonotic bacterial diseases (Farzadnia and Naeemipour, 2020). Due to physiologic abnormalities, fish typically succumb to opportunistic bacterial infection, and stress factors like inadequate nutrition, bad water quality, and overfishing can lead to fish diseases; zoonotic bacterial come in two varieties: native and nonnative (WHO.2012).…”

“…The consumption of fish as a primary protein source has surged in recent decades, driven by the recognition of its nutritional value and health benefits. However, this growing demand has also given rise to concerns about the transmission of zoonotic diseases from fish to humans (Farzadnia and Naeemipour 2020). Bacterial pathogens are of particular concern due to their ability to cause severe illnesses and pose significant economic risks to the fishing industry.…”

Fish harbor a variety of bacterial pathogens, some of which can cause disease in humans. Zoonotic bacteria that may be present in asymptomatic fish hosts pose a public health risk when transmitted to humans through handling or consuming infected fish. Mycobacteriosis, caused by species in the Mycobacterium marinum group, is perhaps the most notorious zoonotic infection associated with fish and can produce serious skin infections in humans. Streptococcosis and staphylococcosis also occur with some frequency in fish and can result in human cases of septicemia, endocarditis or pneumonia if injured skin comes into contact with infected fish tissues and bacteria access wounds. Additionally, some Vibrio and Clostridium species found among fish may cause wound infections or gastrointestinal illness in humans, usually subsequent to exposure through handling or ingesting raw seafood. Clinical signs of bacterial zoonosis are variable and diagnosis in human cases can prove complicated by the vast diversity of potential pathogens involved. Preventative measures center on educating aquarists and fish handlers to avoid direct contact with ulcerated areas, lesions or feces from diseased fish. For consumer safety, good aquaculture practices that reduce bacterial loads in farmed fish stock are recommended. Moreover, thoroughly cooking fish to an internal temperature over 140°F destroys pathogens that may be present. Additional research priorities include better characterization of bacterial diversity among wild and farmed fish, investigating genetic and immunological aspects of disease resistance, developing improved diagnostics through genomic analysis, assessing efficacy of existing antibacterial treatments in clearing pathogens prior to human consumption and formulating integrated control strategies to mitigate risks. This book chapter examines the incidence, transmission mechanisms and pathologic implications of common bacterial zoonosis originating from fish hosts.
