Listeria monocytogenes, a foodborne pathogen, exhibits high adaptability to adverse environmental conditions and is common in the food industry, especially ready-to-eat foods. L. monocytogenes strains pose safety challenges due their ability form biofilms, increased resistance disinfectants, long-term persistence environment. The aim of this study was evaluate presence genetic diversity related products collected from 2014 2022 assess antibiotic susceptibility biofilm formation abilities....
Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) are a group of bacteria frequently proposed as probiotics in aquaculture, their administration has shown to confer positive effects on the growth, survival rate pathogens and immunological status fish. In this respect, production antimicrobial peptides (referred bacteriocins) by LAB is common trait thoroughly documented, being regarded key probiotic strategy. Although some studies have pointed direct immunomodulatory these bacteriocins mammals, been largely...
Probiotics are a viable alternative to traditional chemotherapy agents control infectious diseases in aquaculture. In this regard,
Aquaculture plays a crucial role in meeting the increasing global demand for food and protein sources. However, its expansion is followed by challenges, such as infectious disease outbreaks antibiotic misuse. The present study focuses on genetic functional analyses of two
Aquaculture is a rapidly expanding agri-food industry that faces substantial economic losses due to infectious disease outbreaks, such as bacterial infections. These outbreaks cause disruptions and high mortalities at various stages of the rearing process, especially in larval stages. Probiotic bacteria are emerging promising sustainable alternative or complementary strategies vaccination use antibiotics aquaculture. In this study, potential probiotic candidates for larviculture were...
Lactococcus garvieae is a main ichthyopathogen in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum) farming, although bacteriocinogenic L. with antimicrobial activity against virulent strains of this species have also been identified. Some the bacteriocins characterized, such as garvicin A (GarA) and Q (GarQ), may show potential for control food, feed other biotechnological applications. In study, we report on design lactis that produce GarA and/or GarQ, either alone or together nisin (NisA) Z...
Frequently, diseases in aquaculture have been fought indiscriminately with the use of antibiotics, which has led to development and dissemination (multiple) antibiotic resistances bacteria. Consequently, it is necessary look for alternative complementary approaches chemotheraphy that are safe humans, animals, environment, such as probiotics fish farming. The objective this work was Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) bioinformatic functional analyses
The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has contributed to the dissemination multiresistant bacteria, which represents a public health concern. aim this work was characterize 27 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolated from eight wild Northeast Atlantic hakes (Merluccius merluccius, L.) and taxonomically identified as Staphylococcus epidermidis (n = 16), saprophyticus 4), hominis 3), pasteuri 2), edaphicus 1), capitis 1). Biofilm formation evaluated with microtiter assay, antibiotic...
Weissella cibaria P71 is a lactic acid bacterium that was isolated from common octopus ( Octopus vulgaris ) and previously showed interesting probiotic properties for turbot Scophthalmus maximus L.) farming. The draft genome sequence of this strain provides further data to support its potential as aquaculture.
