Subcellular components enhance the immunity

What is it about?

Subcellular components of probiotic microorganisms induced immunity and disease resistance against the infection.That cellular components and live cells of probiotics can potentially be used as adjuvant or vaccine and can act as a substitute to antibiotics in aquaculture.

Why is it important?

Aquaculture has emerged as one of the most promising enterprise due to the increasing demand of animal proteins to provide nutritional and food security.The major problem in aquaculture industry is the occurrence of infectious bacterial diseases, resulting in the decline of fish production. In order to overcome this problem, various antimicrobial compounds such as antibiotic and chemotherapeutics have been applied. However, application of antibiotics during fish production can also lead to other problems such as bacterial drug resistant and food safety. As the use of antibiotic can result in bacterial drug resistance and can adversely affects the health status of fish, there isa need for developing an alternative method for controlling infection caused by A. hydrophila in carps. Probiotics and their cellular components will be an alternative measure for controlling the growth of pathogenic bacteria by different mechanisms without any side effects.
