The current status and future focus of probiotic and prebiotic applications for salmonids

TL;DR: The application of probiotics and prebiotics may result in elevated health status, improved disease resistance, growth performance, body composition, reduced malformations and improved gut morphology and microbial balance.

Role of gastrointestinal microbiota in fish

TL;DR: The involvement of GI microbiota in fish nutrition, epithelial development, immunity as well as disease outbreak, and the need for manipulating the gut microbiota with useful beneficial microbes through probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic concepts for better fish health management are indicated.

Epidemiology of resistance to antibiotics links between animals and humans.

TL;DR: Since the EU ban of avoparcin, a significant decrease has been observed in several European countries in the prevalence of vancomycin resistant enterococci in meat (products), in faecal samples of food animals and healthy humans, which underlines the role of antimicrobial usage in food animals in the selection of bacterial resistance and the transport of these resistances via the food chain to humans.

Does the use of antibiotics in food animals pose a risk to human health? A critical review of published data

TL;DR: The application of the 'precautionary principle' is a non-scientific approach that assumes that risk assessments will be carried out, and anti-Gram-positive growth promoters would be expected to have little effect on most Gram-negative organisms.
