The present study was intended to elucidate the genomic basis of antibiotic resistance and hyper-virulence of the fish pathogen Aeromonas veronii XhG1.2 characterized in our previous work. The identity of XhG1.2 was confirmed through 16S rDNA sequence analysis and whole genome sequence analysis. The top-hit species distribution analysis of XhG1.2 sequence data revealed major hits against the Aeromonas veronii. The identification of virulence genes using the VFDB showed the genome of XhG1.2 to have the genes coding for the virulence factors viz. aerolysin, RtxA, T2SS, T3SS and T6SS. The presence of antibiotic resistance predicted through the CARD database analysis showed it to have the CephA3, OXA-12, adeF and pulvomycin resistance genes. By the phylogenetic and comparative genomic analysis, A. veronii species were found to have genes for toxin production. This also confirmed the pathogenicity and drug resistance of A. veronii XhG1.2 and also its potential to cause disease in diverse ornamental fishes.

Background: Probiotics and essential oils feed supplements are widely used in the aquaculture sector. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with probiotics, essential oils and their combination on growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, antioxidant capacity, resistance against Aeromonas veronii, and intestinal histomorphology of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). A total of 360 O.

Article Synopsis
- Hfq, an RNA chaperone, is crucial for the virulence and pathogenicity of the infectious bacterium Aeromonas veronii.
- Deleting the hfq gene leads to decreased swimming motility, reduced biofilm formation, and lower adhesion to epithelial cells, significantly impairing its ability to colonize in host tissues.
- The study indicates that while hfq deletion reduces some virulence traits, it paradoxically increases secreted proteins and cytotoxicity, suggesting Hfq regulates the expression of virulence factors, balancing pathogenicity and fitness in A. veronii.

Flagella are essential for biofilm formation, adhesion, virulence, and motility. In this study, the deletion of argR resulted in defects in flagellar synthesis and reduced motility, nevertheless, the underlying mechanism by which ArgR regulated bacterial motility remained unclear. ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq analysis revealed that ArgR regulated the expression of flagellar genes, concluding two-component system flrBC and multitudinous flagellar structure genes.
