Article Synopsis
- The research explores lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from freshwater salmon as potential probiotics for aquaculture, focusing on strains isolated from antibiotic-free fish farms in northeast Spain.
- Identification of LAB and pathogenic bacteria was done through Gram staining and genetic sequencing, followed by safety evaluations through antibiotic susceptibility tests and antagonism assays against specific pathogens.
- Results showed LAB had varied responses to antimicrobials with no resistance to common aquaculture antibiotics, while some strains negatively impacted embryonic fish, suggesting the need for careful consideration of LAB safety in aquaculture applications.
Previous studies have demonstrated that the strains L1, L21 and CLFP3 are probiotics against vibriosis or lactococosis in sea bass or rainbow trout. In this study, the utility of these bacterial strains in the control of saprolegniosis was evaluated. For this purpose, both in vitro inhibition studies and competition for binding sites against and in vivo tests with experimentally infected rainbow trout were carried out.

Targeting the gut-adipose tissue-liver axis by modulating the gut microbiota can be a promising therapeutic approach in NAFLD. , a potent lactic-acid-producing bacterium, has been shown to attenuate NAFLD.

Although most of the microorganisms that coexist with us are located in the gut, microbial cells present in other locations (like skin, respiratory tract, genitourinary tract, and the vaginal zone in women) also play a significant role regulating host health. The fact that there are different kinds of microbiota in different body areas does not mean they are independent.

The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of Leptospira spp in rodents captured from peridomestic sites in leptospirosis endemic regions of Nicaragua. Using live traps, 191 rodents were captured in 2012 and 2013 between April and December.
