“…Similarly, a study was conducted to assess S. iniae antibiotic resitance present in shrimp farming. They tested amikacin, neomycin, enrofloxacin, lincomycin, and sulfamethoxazole and found that S. iniae exhibited resistance to these antibiotics [ 94 ]. Furthermore, the use of these antibiotics alters the intestinal microbiota of organisms, affecting beneficial microbiota.…”

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.

“…Adah et al reported multiple antibiotic resistance index values between 0.20 and 0.80 from Aeromonas strains (Aeromonas caviae, A. veronii, A. hydrophila, A. dhakensis and A. enteropelogenes) isolated from Clarias gariepinus (40.9% isolated from diseased fish, Fishes 2024, 9, 99 2 of 19 and 25% from healthy fish) acquired from farms that intensively utilized antibiotics [5]. Unfortunately, these resistance determinants can be transferred to other animal and human pathogenic bacteria [6], making antibiotic resistance a global challenge to aquaculture and human health.…”

Increased infectious diseases and the reduced effectiveness of antibiotics due to antimicrobial resistance pose global challenges affecting the aquaculture industry. As bacteria increasingly develop antibiotic resistance, research scientists are shifting their focus to technologies such as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), which show potential for treating and controlling fish infections without promoting the development of resistant bacteria. Various photosensitizers (PSs), both natural and synthetic, are under investigation for their application in aPDT within the aquaculture industry. This shift is crucial for the sustainability of the aquaculture industry, which plays a significant role in achieving several of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This review highlights the application of aPDT against fish pathogens in the industry and the types of PSs utilized. It also explores the potential application of this technique for treating and controlling fish infections, along with the advantages and limitations of its use in aquaculture production systems. Finally, a conclusion and future perspectives are provided.
