Vibrio rotiferianus is an important marine pathogen of various aquatic organisms and can be found widely distributed in the marine environment. To further characterize this pathogen, the pathogenic properties and genome of V. rotiferianus SSVR1601 isolated from Sebastes schlegelii with skin ulcer were analysed. SSVR1601 was shown to be short rod-shaped cell with a single polar flagellum. Different degrees of pathological changes in fish kidney, intestine, gills and liver were observed after SSVR1601 challenge. The SSVR1601 genome consists of two chromosomes and two plasmids with a total of 5,717,113 bp, 42.04%-44.93% GC content, 5,269 predicted CDSs, 134 tRNAs and 40 rRNAs. The common virulence factors including OMPs, haemolysin, flagellin, DNase, entF, algU, tcpI, acfB and rfaD were found in strain SSVR1601. Furthermore, factors responsible for iron uptake (fur, fepC and ccmC) and types II, IV and VI secretion systems were detected, which are likely responsible for the pathogenicity of SSVR1601. The antimicrobial resistance genes, bacA, tet34 and norM, were detected based on Antibiotic Resistance Genes Database. The phylogenetic analysis revealed SSVR1601 to be most closely related to V. rotiferianus strains CAIM577 and B64D1.

Members of the family (vibrios) are widely distributed in estuarine, offshore, and marginal seas and perform an important ecological role in the marine organic carbon cycle. Nevertheless, there is little knowledge about whether vibrios play ecological roles in the oligotrophic pelagic area, which occupies a larger water volume. In this study, we investigated the abundance, diversity, and composition of free-living and particle-associated vibrios and their relationships with environmental factors along the water depth in the eastern tropical Indian Ocean (ETIO).

Article Synopsis
- - Polymicrobial infections, like Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS), are complex and under-researched, involving interactions between the ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) and harmful bacteria impacting oyster populations on the French Atlantic coast.
- - Field studies and laboratory experiments revealed that certain bacterial communities flourish in oysters infected with OsHV-1 and that these bacteria can enhance the virus's effects, leading to accelerated oyster mortality.
- - Cooperative behaviors among bacteria, including promoting one another’s growth and sharing resources, play a significant role in the severity of POMS, suggesting that targeting these interactions may help manage the disease and protect oyster health.

Rotifers are used as the first feed for marine fish larvae and are grown in large cultures that have high loads of organic matter and heterotrophic bacteria; these bacteria are passed on to the developing fish larvae and can potentially lead to bacterial infections. A modified minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) protocol for antimicrobial peptides was used to determine the potency of ten antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in artificial seawater relevant to a rotifer culture (salinity of 25‰) against common marine pathogens. All of the AMPs had antimicrobial activity against the bacterial isolates when the salt concentration was approximately zero.

Warming sea-surface temperature has led to an increase in the prevalence of Vibrio species in marine environments. This can be observed particularly in temperate regions where conditions for their growth has become more favourable. The increased prevalence of pathogenic Vibrio species has resulted in a worldwide surge of Vibriosis infections in human and aquatic animals.
