Aquaculture production is affected by disease outbreak, which affects the production, profitability, and sustainability of the global aquaculture industry. Antibiotics have been widely used to control various infectious diseases. Indiscriminate usage of antibiotics results in development of antibiotic resistance in pathogens. This current study aims to synthesize myrobalan-mediated green silver nanocolloids (MBNc) by using the extract of three myrobalans and characterized by using various physiochemical techniques. Antibacterial potential of MBNc was screened in vibriosis causing pathogens (V. harveyi, V. alginolyticus, V. Parahaemolyticus), and foodborne pathogen S. haemolyticus, isolated from infected fish. Further, the presence of ESBL genes including CTX-M-15 and Amp C was analyzed in control and MBNc-treated strains. From our studies, it was observed that MBNc was very effective in controlling the growth. MBNc confirmed the anti-biofilm property in all tested marine pathogens and effectively abolish the genes encoding CTX-M-15 in tested pathogens. Thus, MBNc can be formulated to control the growth of marine pathogens and it can be used as an alternative to antibiotics to prevent infection in cage culturing and aquafarming.

The fungal genus Fusarium is a treasure-trove of structurally diverse secondary metabolites, contributed greatly by marine-derived strains. A new cedrane sesquiterpene, fusacedrol (1), and a new fusarin member, fusarin M (2), were isolated from F. graminearum 12Ⅱ2N that was isolated as an endophyte from the marine brown alga Sargassum sp.

Vibrio anguillarum is a pathogen responsible for vibriosis in aquaculture animals. The formation of bacterial biofilm contributes to infections and increases resistance to antibiotics. Tryptophanase and its substrate tryptophan have been recognized as signal molecules regulating bacterial biofilm formation.

is a common opportunistic pathogen associated with nosocomial infections. The primary treatment for infections typically involves antibiotics, which can lead to the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. Therefore, there is a pressing need for safe and effective alternative methods.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) epizootics have caused repeated mass mortality events among wild birds. The effect of the infection is potentially detrimental for a variety of bird species, including the Peregrine Falcon (). The numbers of wintering and breeding Peregrine Falcons in the Netherlands have recently declined.

Globally, forests are constantly threatened by a plethora of disturbances of natural and anthropogenic origin, such as climate change, forest fires, urbanization, and pollution. Besides the most common stressors, during the last few years, Portuguese forests have been impacted by severe decline phenomena caused by invasive pathogens, many of which belong to the genus . The genus includes a large number of species that are invading forest ecosystems worldwide, chiefly as a consequence of global trade and human activities.
