A Review of Antimicrobial Peptides: Its Function, Mode of Action and Therapeutic Potential

Sehrish Nayab et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are endogenous polypeptides produced by multicellular organisms to protect the host from pathogenic microbes. In addition to their antimicrobial function, AMPs also play roles in wound healing, inflammation, and immune activation. Due to their different mechanisms and broad-spectrum properties, AMPs are considered as promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics.

Shrimp vibriosis and possible control measures using probiotics, postbiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics: A review

Hany M. R. Abdel-Latif et al.

Summary: The growth of the shrimp industry in the past two decades has led to concerns about the intensification of shrimp farming, which may increase the risk of emergent pathogens. Preventive strategies, such as vaccination and water quality control, are considered crucial in combating shrimp vibriosis. Researchers have also focused on finding alternatives to antibiotics in order to minimize their negative impacts. The use of probiotics, postbiotics, parabiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics has been extensively researched and proven effective in controlling shrimp diseases and reducing the reliance on antibiotics.

Health benefits and potential applications of fucoidan (FCD) extracted from brown seaweeds in aquaculture: An updated review

Hany M. R. Abdel-Latif et al.

Summary: Due to the high incidence of fish and shrimp diseases, the use of immunomodulators in aquaculture has become a pressing need. This literature review focuses on the application of fucoidan (FCD), a bioactive sulfated polysaccharide found in brown seaweeds, in aquaculture. Studies have shown that FCD has beneficial effects on the growth, intestinal health, antioxidant capacity, and immune responses of various finfish and shellfish species. It also shows potential in modulating toxicity signs and increasing the resistance of fish and shrimp against bacterial and viral infections.

Intervention of antimicrobial peptide usage on antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture

Jian Lu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of antimicrobial peptide intervention on antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture by analyzing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in various samples. The results showed that cecropin treatment significantly reduced the absolute abundance of ARGs, while antibiotic treatment had the opposite effect. Network analysis revealed that cecropin treatment could decrease the occurrence of multi-drug resistant bacteria and the correlation between genera and ARGs.

Summary: Controlled indoor reproduction of European eel is considered a promising method to prevent the extinction of this fish species. Limited information is available on the diversity of bacterial microflora in European eel during long maturation under changing temperature and salinity conditions. Changes in the bacterial microflora during indoor reproduction may increase the risk of bacterial infection, especially during the freshwater phase of female maturation.
